A statement from the Mexican bishops’ conference referred to three lawsuits aimed at fighting the state laws. The full court is expected to rule on the lawsuits in the coming days.

The bishops reminded the Mexican justices that their principal mission is to defend the “most basic of all rights, the right to life,” upon which “the present and future of our nation depends.”
