Abortion

By Michael O'Boyle

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A fight over abortion between Mexico's federal government and the capital's leftist lawmakers goes to the Supreme Court next week, with the attorney general urging judges to reinstate a ban on women terminating pregnancies on demand.

The Catholic Church, a powerful force in the world's second-biggest Catholic country, backs the federal government's call to overturn a 2007 law allowing abortions in Mexico City.

But the capital's administration, headed by Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, says women have a right to safe abortions rather than risking their lives in unhygienic back-street clinics.

Dozens of activists on both sides of the abortion issue gathered outside a Planned Parenthood headquarters in Denver Saturday in one of the first demonstrations related to the Democratic National Convention.
