Abstract
ADAME GODDARD, Jorge. Commentary on the Judgment of the Supreme Court of Justice of Mexico that Recognizes the Alleged Right to Interrupt Pregnancy. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2023, n.48, pp.419-436. Epub Jan 12, 2024. ISSN 1405-9193. https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2023.48.18051.
Mexico 's Supreme Court of Justice has ruled that the Mexican constitution contains the right of women to terminate pregnancy within a short period of conception. This comment shows that the decision has no basis either in the Mexican constitution or in international human rights treaties, and that it starts from a deficient perception of the reality of what the human embryo is, which leads to the unfounded conclusion that as long as it does not reach a certain age it can be treated as a thing or an animal.
Keywords : abortion; right to decide; human embryo.
