Mexican prosecutors ordered to track number of women in Mexico imprisoned for abortion | LifeSiteNews.com: The effort to record the number of women incarcerated for killing their unborn children represents a new phase in a growing consensus in the country in favor of eliminating criminal penalties for abortions.

The trend against imprisonment was given a strong impetus when pro-abortion groups began to publicize the cases of several women imprisoned in the state of Guanajuato for having had “spontaneous abortions.”

Although the women had all given birth in the third trimester and had been convicted of infanticide, the murder of their newborn children, the country’s media repeated the claim that the women had been imprisoned “for abortion.” The state’s governor soon capitulated to demands for their release.
