We are U.S based college students who are producing this blog for our Gender and Sexuality in Latin America history class at the Claremont College Consortium. While we have examined varying sources such as legal documents and websites about our particular topic in Spanish, for the purpose of this project we have found it more appropriate, based on our individual language proficiencies, to analyze scholarly sources and generate content in English, our native language.
We want to recognize our positionalities within the abortion debate. We are pro-choice advocates who believe that access to safe and legal abortions is a crucial step in the direction of gender equality and reproductive rights. Although we acknowledge that the 2007 decriminalization of abortion in Mexico City was beneficial for people located there, we believe it ultimately had negative national consequences that created greater barriers to abortion access.
We would like to thank our professor, Sarah Sarzynski, for guiding the process of developing, researching, and publishing this project on abortion in Mexico.

This blog has excellent information about abortion and legal struggles, major opponents and supporters. The content is based in solid research about the topic, providing meaningful insight framed in a creative way. The layout is easy to navigate and I like how you created the moving posts in the home page. The format on the first page needs editing. Becca's posts on the Church should be on Church tab but they are on the home page and this is a bit confusing. I also think the post providing the analytical framework (now in an odd tab "Other") should be on the homepage. It is not always clear in the postings about who is your intended audience and how the postings relate to the broader topic of the blog. Your writing is engaged and you found many interesting graphics/images. I hope you fix the homepage and "other" tab, making it clearer on the homepage what your blog is about.
