Mexico: Parties and abortion

By Sara Lovera in Word Antigone

Nothing is as funny as watching from far and away the Dicer political leaders, men or women by politicians and emergency times to win votes, sympathies, followers to stay in power.

ago as 18 or 20 years I wrote that in Mexico the decriminalization of abortion would not exist without the support and initiative of the state party or single, who was the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

PRI was an Assembly which began in the Assembly with a proposed surface and taken away. Feminists spoke him and a group of them, led by members of TURN undertook the task of bringing the proposal to the Federal District was finally defended and championed by the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD). This is the nation's capital the first to guarantee the right to terminate a pregnancy from April 2007.

few years earlier from the town hall in the capital's main square we had been forbidden to touch the subject, back in the era of the government of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, however the political situation that offered the absolute closure the government of Guanajuato, allowed to move forward with the known Robles Law, which established for the first time since the Mexican Revolution, a mechanism to enforce legal abortion, that is those exceptions in the criminal code that allowed termination of pregnancy, as in the case of rape.

be struck by the shift in the PRI, anxious and wanting to return to Los Pinos, the country's top leadership, as President of the Republic.

Between 2008 and 2010, many deputies were members of congress militants National Action Party (PAN) that promoted in almost 23 states of the Republic giving civil rights to the fetus and noted that civilian life begins at conception, resulting in a significant move to ban abortion completely and without exception. In 18 states they have succeeded.

The PRI deputies voted these initiatives in dozens of cases. The PRI leadership, embodied by Beatriz Paredes did exit. I heard on television to the leader who respected the plurality, her friends or partners defending the point, while it into agreements with the bishops and with what right could, to be winning elections in various states of the country. She old feminist and liberal, intelligent and friendly, had decided to end their principles in the name of politics and power.

So powerfully striking that the new leadership PRI, which leads the teacher, former governor of the conservative state of Coahuila, Humberto Moreira is opening the debate, saying that he personally agrees with the right to terminate a pregnancy and that women have to say.

Earlier in Puebla local congressman Juan Jose Espinosa, Convergence Party, also was at the right of women. And then after PRD Senator Carlos Navarrete, who does not know more beyond discourse and only, also said he would make a proposal through the House is ruled Manlio Fabio Beltrones.

is no doubt that the topic, with all the promotional campaign, mobilizing women who have made the Covenant for Life, Liberty and the Rights of Women, has hit at least has on the table this huge issue, which has brought dozens of women to prison in recent years. There is no doubt that the mobilization, making the street, the dissemination and organization of women is what makes these positions can not think of leaders on the rights of women and their lives significantly are regular male, exclusionary and undemocratic.

But it is plausible that political pressure from the Covenant, which has now reported in full force as it changes to guide the gaze of dozens of journalists, men and women, which means 23 years in prison for Leslie Karina Díaz Zamora, accused of murder matched in degree of kinship, a figure used by the judges against women in Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Veracruz, Puebla and now in Baja California. There is no exact count but at least 70 women have been accused processed in this way. Only in Hidalgo and Puebla almost 30, is now talking about 25 in Baja California and more than 20 in Guanajuato. Some are in jail.

That march is scheduled for next Friday. A demonstration, a protest, not that quiet attitude of some, who feel they have the truth of women sitting around the table of the Minister of Health on duty or a solicitor. Now women show their faces and take notice. To take care of and policies to win votes speak without conviction, without history, without real interest, because it mobilized and on the street, women are going to demand consistency.

And the most curious. Now the PRI against the PAN alliance with the PRD, in that they are right. Let's see how they fare to and from Oaxaca or Sinaloenses Poblanas with these lies and where shifting skeins for power, anything goes, even get to the water with oil. We'll see.
