Freedom of wombs (Spanish: Libertad de vientres, Portuguese: Lei do Ventre Livre), also referred to as free birth or the law of wombs, was a 19th century judicial concept in several Latin American countries, that declared that all wombs bore free children. All children are born free, even if the mother is enslaved. This principle did not go into effect unless a country adopted it and included it in its constitution or other legislation. It overturned a tradition, under which babies born to enslaved women became the property of the women's owners. Intended as a step towards ending slavery, it was unevenly adopted.

| - La libertad de vientres fue un principio jurídico que se implantó en el siglo XIX en los países abolicionistas de la esclavitud, consistente en otorgar la libertad a los hijos nacidos de esclavas. Hasta la aplicación de este precepto, el hijo nacido de una esclava pasaba a formar parte del patrimonio del señor de su madre. Una vez terminada la esclavitud el principio cayó en desuso por causa de su propia naturaleza temporal. (es)

| - Freedom of wombs (Spanish: Libertad de vientres, Portuguese: Lei do Ventre Livre), also referred to as free birth or the law of wombs, was a 19th century judicial concept in several Latin American countries, that declared that all wombs bore free children. All children are born free, even if the mother is enslaved. This principle did not go into effect unless a country adopted it and included it in its constitution or other legislation. It overturned a tradition, under which babies born to enslaved women became the property of the women's owners. Intended as a step towards ending slavery, it was unevenly adopted. The Freedom of Wombs Law, commonly referred to as The Free Womb Law, was indeed a law specifying that all children are born free, even if the mother is enslaved. This law provided protections of slave savings for each and every child, so that they could be protected if anything were to happen. This also acknowledged that slaves could be self-purchased because they eventually did not need to get permission from, or have to really listen to their masters, and or multiple slave owners. This also allowed for potential slave registration to comply with it. It is also known that Congressional leads have changed the outcome of the Free Womb Law. (en)
