Michoacán

edit

The Mexican state of Michoacán decriminalised elective abortion last week, and the law came into effect 3 days after that. It was already published on Saturday 12th October: https://michoacan.gob.mx/noticias/se-publica-en-periodico-oficial-decreto-que-despenaliza-el-aborto/ Aleqc (talk) 20:10, 15 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the news. The law was actually published on 11 October 2024, and it entered into force on the following day, 12 October 2024.[1] I updated the article and map. Heitordp (talk) 03:16, 16 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Slight grammar problem in the last sentence of the heading

I feel a bit silly making this edit request as it’s such a small thing, but I think it should say “inscribed abortion rights *in* its constitution”, not “*to*”. 2600:100A:B1E5:AEBB:24EE:D181:45CF:41D3 (talk) 07:56, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Chiapas

edit

The table in the article still mentions a limit of 90 days for the ground of rape for this state. But that was modified a year ago (9 May 2023). Since then, the penal code is officially aligned to the federal law that allows abortion at any stage in case of rape or sexual abuse. See article 181, page 64:

And, stay tuned because abortion could be officially decriminalised the next week (so the article could be modified again the next week, but we will see), as the Mexican Supreme Court ruled last week that reform is unconstitutional because it wasn't progressive enough (it still criminalises elective abortion on request). The local Congress is now working on that, the bill is ready and submitted, and the legislators have announced they might vote it the next week.

I removed the limit in case of rape for Chiapas and Quintana Roo, and corrected it for Coahuila. I also updated the references to the penal codes of all states of Mexico. Heitordp (talk) 06:14, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Turkmenistan

Didn’t Turkmenistan defacto ban abortion? 24.148.84.80 (talk) 00:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Turkmenistan reduced the gestational limit for abortion on request from 12 to 5 weeks, but didn't prohibit it completely.[2][3] It's similar to the heartbeat limit in some US states. Heitordp (talk) 06:38, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
