Presented by representative Yuriri Ayala Zúñiga, Morena’s initiative seeks to repeal the crime of abortion from the local Penal Code, so that no woman is prosecuted or criminalized for terminating her pregnancy after 12 weeks of gestation.
In this way, the proposal eliminates the criminalization of women who exercise this right, mainly those who have a spontaneous abortion, a high-risk pregnancy or women who were victims of rape.
