Legislators in Mexico City are debating a bill that would legalize abortion during the first three months of pregnancy:

The bill is supported by the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, which holds the mayorship and a majority in the city's legislature, and it could be approved in the coming months, lawmakers said.

…Under current Mexico City law, abortion is only permitted if the pregnancy endangers a woman's life or if the woman has been raped.

Proponents of the bill say these restrictions force women to seek abortions outside the law. While wealthier women travel to the United States for the procedure, poorer women must remain in Mexico and have back-street operations, supporters said.

The Roman Catholic contingent is strong over there, so I’m wary of getting too excited…but still, cool shit.
