Abortion rights and provisions across Mexico and Texas have done a complete switch. In September 2021 the ten-member Mexican Supreme Court voted unanimously to decriminalise abortion in Mexico. Meanwhile the State of Texas has bolstered its SB8 “heartbeat” act with the introduction of Texas SB4/HB6, making it a felony to distribute medication commonly used in abortion after 49 days (seven weeks) of pregnancy (when the recommended use is up to ten weeks).
