Abortion Controversy in Mexico.

This pronouncement came after it was made public that the resolution received the approval of the majority of the ministers in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), which ratifies the constitutional validity of the law that decriminalized abortion until 12 weeks' gestation in the Federal District.
This decision paves the way for other states in the country to legislate in this regard and encourages the legalization of abortion.

In a press statement, the president and the secretary of the Mexican Episcopal Conference (EMC), Bishop Carlos Aguiar Retes and Bishop Jose Leopoldo Gonzalez, respectively, made an urgent appeal in the name of all bishops in the country asking Mexicans to be conscious of the importance of the defense of life.
Some pro-life organizations protested the resolution, especially in the capital.
The archdiocese of Mexico launched a communique in which it criticized the Supreme Court's resolution and appealed to the conscience of the society.
