Dear Gabacho:
Please forgive the bluntness of my question, but what is the abortion policy in Mexico?
No Embarazada, Ni Antiabortísta
Dear Nena:
In April 2007 lawmakers in Mexico voted 46 to 19 in favor of the bill that permits abortions of pregnancies in the first 12 weeks under any circumstances. Currently, only Mexico City allows abortions upon demand for the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy. Yucatán allows it in the cases of birth defects, undesired artificial insemination, economic reasons, when the woman already has three children, the pregnancy would cause life danger and rape. All other states penalize abortion except for rape cases and health problems.
