"Adoption in the womb"
Conservative legislators in Mexico's capital city propose law that would give mothers an alternative to abortion
With the goal of offering an alternative to women who may be considering abortion, members of the National Action Party in the Legislative Assembly of Mexico's capital city, the Federal District, have proposed a reform to the Code of Civil Procedures that would add "adoption in the mother's womb." The Federal District, which includes Mexico City, is the only area in Mexico in which abortion is legal for any reason up to the 12th week of pregnancy. The Supreme Court of Mexico is currently in the process of deciding whether the law legalizing abortion in the Federal District violates the country's constitution.
In a March 26 press conference, Assemblywoman Celina Saavedra said that, under the proposed change to the civil code, women who don't want or who are not able to take care of their unborn children will be able to give them up for adoption before delivery.
