This article conveniently sidesteps the implications for abortion, instead focussing on ambiguous rights for the mothers, aside from the right to name an unborn child an heir — which I agree is a good thing.
I'm not too familiar with Puerto Rican law, so I would have liked more information on what it means to assign personhood under civil law.
Can mothers still get medically necessary abortions in the case of an unviable/dangerous pregnancy? Is an ectopic fetus still a full person from the moment of conception? How will that influence medical decisions?
I'm sure plenty of women would like to know.
Reading the article, this is only for the civil administrative code
Regardless its an unfortunate choice. As fetuses aren't people, and normalizing this only leads to even less religious freedoms
Totally agree
