Mexican State Amends Constitution To Define "Person" As Including Fetus

In the Mexican state of Guanajuato last week, the State Legislature approved an amendment to the state's Constitution to define "persons" under the law as "all human beings from conception to natural death." According to CNA's report on the legislature's action, at least nine other Mexican states have adopted similar constitutional amendments. (See prior related posting.)
