Mexico’s Quintana Roo state decriminalises abortion | Health News | Al Jazeera
The Mexican state of Quintana Roo has voted to decriminalise abortion, becoming the latest area to ease restrictions on the procedure as part of a “green wave” demanding greater reproductive rights across Latin America.
Nineteen lawmakers on Wednesday voted in favour with three against, approving a change in the law that would decriminalise abortion for women up to 12 weeks pregnant and remove a requirement for rape victims to report their abuser to access abortion.
A Yucatan rat snake snaps up a bat in the Cave of the Hanging Snakes. Every evening at sundown, thousands of bats emerge from the cave to feed – and risk becoming prey themselves.
In the darkness, the photographer used a red light that bats and snakes are less sensitive to. Watching the snake poking out of a crack, he had just seconds to get the shot before it retreated to enjoy its meal.
