Which country’s Supreme Court has decriminalized the abortion nationwide?

  • A. Mexico
  • B. Thailand
  • C. Malaysia
  • D. Germany

Correct Answer: A. Mexico

Mexico’s supreme court has unanimously rule that state laws prohibiting abortion are unconstitutional and violate women’s rights, in the latest in a series of victories for reproductive rights activists across Latin America. Wednesday’s ruling came two years after the court ordered the northern state of Coahuila to remove sanctions for abortion from its criminal code, a decision which prompted a tortuous state-by-state process of legal battles. So far 12 of Mexico’s 31 states have decriminalized the procedure.
