MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - SEPTEMBER 27: Rocío Irene Mejía García(l) psychologist/nurse who works in Mendoza's Mexico City abortion clinic prepares Ms. M for her abortion September 27, 2008 in Mexico City. Instead of resorting to an illegal clinic in her state of Baja California, Ms. M traveled to Mexico City to access the procedure without fear or shame. In August, Mexico's Supreme Court defied protests from the powerful Roman Catholic Church and ruled that the capital's law decriminalizing abortion is constitutional thus letting the April 2007 law grating abortions in Mexico City legally stand. The law, reflecting decades of advocacy work, is a first for Mexico?and much of Latin America, where only three countries (Barbados, Guyana and Cuba) allow abortion.
