In April 2007, the Mexico City, Mexico, legislature passed landmark legislation decriminalizing elective abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. In Mexico City, safe abortion services are now available to women through the Mexico City Ministry of Health's free public sector legal abortion program and in the private sector, and more than 89 000 legal abortions have been performed. By contrast, abortion has continued to be restricted across the Mexican states (each state makes its own abortion laws), and there has been an antichoice backlash against the legislation in 16 states. Mexico City's abortion legislation is an important first step in improving reproductive rights, but unsafe abortions will only be eliminated if similar abortion legislation is adopted across the entire country.
2007 年 4 月，墨西哥城立法机构通过了具有里程碑意义的立法，将怀孕 12 周内的选择性堕胎合法化。在墨西哥城，安全的堕胎服务现在通过墨西哥城卫生部的免费公共部门合法堕胎计划和私营部门向妇女提供，已经进行了超过 89000 例合法堕胎。相比之下，堕胎在墨西哥各州仍然受到限制（每个州都制定自己的堕胎法），并且在 16 个州对该立法进行了反选择的强烈反对。墨西哥城的堕胎立法是改善生殖权利的重要第一步，但只有在全国范围内通过类似的堕胎立法，不安全的堕胎才会被消除。
