The Center for Reproductive Rights states that Mexico's laws vary at the state level. In 2021, the Supreme Court of Mexico issued a ground-breaking decision unanimously recognizing a constitutional right to safe, legal, and free abortion services within a “short period” of time in early pregnancy, as well as on specific grounds thereafter. Due to Mexico’s federal system, where laws on abortion are determined at the state level, Mexican states are still in the process of reforming their laws to comply with the Supreme Court of Mexico’s decision.

"Colombia is the third Latin American country partially to decriminalize abortion in the past three years, following Argentina in 2020 and Mexico in 2021, with significant opposition from Catholics" (Para 2). "Abortion policy varies on a state-by-state basis. In September 2021, the Mexican Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating the protection of life from conception in the Constitution of the state of Sinaloa. Pro-choice observers described the ruling as effectively decriminalizing abortion in Mexico, as the ruling is binding on other states. Most Mexican states currently do not allow abortions except to preserve the mother’s health" (Para 11).
