Legal Interruption of Pregnancy (ILE)

Legal termination of pregnancy (LTP) is a human rights issue. It allows individuals to exercise their right to decide freely on the continuation of a pregnancy in the early stages of gestational age.

In Jalisco, the law allows women to request a legal termination of pregnancy based on their own decision and without having to provide a reason, up to 12 full weeks of gestation.

Other states, such as Mexico City, Oaxaca, Hidalgo, Veracruz, Baja California, Colima, Sinaloa, Guerrero, Baja California Sur, Quintana Roo, Aguascalientes, Puebla, Michoacán, San Luis Potosí, Chiapas, Zacatecas, the State of Mexico, Nayarit, Campeche, Yucatán, and Tabasco have laws that respect this right.

“Everyone has the right to decide in a free and informed manner on the number and spacing of his or her children.”

Article 4 of the Constitution.

Abortion is legal in Jalisco.

In Chiapas, abortion is a legal health service. You have the right to safe abortion and the law protects you. Local legislation guarantees the right to have an abortion at the free choice of the woman or pregnant woman during the first 12 weeks of gestation.
