New threats to abortion rights hit Puerto Rico, advocates fight back Abortion is legal in Puerto Rico, but a new wave of anti-abortion proponents are pushing for more restrictions, with some success

Repro rights are still intact in Puerto Rico, as there are legal grounds to support them. But the overturning of Roe v. Wade has galvanized conservative legislators & anti-abortion groups to erode abortion rights in Puerto Rico, Mariela Santos-Muñiz reports.

“We’re ready, & we’re organizing. We already were, & now we’re organizing more & for us, this is a right that isn’t negotiable.”

Abortion is legal in Puerto Rico, but a new wave of anti-abortion proponents is mimicking the anti-abortion efforts in U.S. states, @mellamomariela.bsky.social reports.

A gold and blue promotional graphic titled “Internship Grants Open!” Beneath the title is a bright orange rectangle with white text that says, “apply today.” Towards the bottom is smaller body text that says, “Future publishing interns, apply for a summer internship grant today!” Following the body text is bright yellow bubble containing the URL “bit.ly/InternshipGrants2025”. To the right of that is an illustration of a young professional sitting at their computer with a cell phone to their ear as they jot down notes on some blank paper.
