Courts and Abortion Reform in Latin America
The decriminalization of abortion is one of those legal reforms in which feminist movements, despite sustained efforts and resources, have yet to secure consistent global gains. Hard-won advances remain precarious. The reversals in Poland’s case of K1/20 and United States’ Dobbs v. Jackson reveal this fragility. In his book The Judicial Politics of Abortion in Latin America: Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico, Jordi Díez addresses this dynamic of progress, stagnation, and regression in abortion politics, focusing on Latin America. This region, at the turn of the century, had some of the most restrictive abortion regimes in the democratic world.
