This article conveniently sidesteps the implications for abortion, instead focussing on ambiguous rights for the mothers, aside from the right to name an unborn child an heir — which I agree is a good thing.

I'm not too familiar with Puerto Rican law, so I would have liked more information on what it means to assign personhood under civil law.

Can mothers still get medically necessary abortions in the case of an unviable/dangerous pregnancy? Is an ectopic fetus still a full person from the moment of conception? How will that influence medical decisions?

I'm sure plenty of women would like to know.
