Colombia's highest court legalizes abortion up to 24 weeks

24 Sept 09:21 Key points summarised by AI

Colombia's Constitutional Court legalized abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, marking a significant expansion of reproductive rights in the nation.
The ruling eliminates previous restrictions, allowing women to access abortion without justification until the 24th week, a major shift from the prior limited allowances for specific circumstances.
Hailed as a "historic step" by women's rights groups, this decision aims to improve access to safe abortions, especially for low-income women, despite not achieving full decriminalization.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
