VIVA MEXICO! (CIUDAD DE)


Mexico City has legalized first trimester abortions. Catholics are upset as a matter of religion (and sex uptightness).

The five Catholics on the U.S. Supreme Court appear ready to rubberstamp any anti-sex, anti-reproductive health laws any crackpot legislative body can come up with.


The practical effect of abortion and contraception restrictions (don’t forget, the Catholic Church is DEAD SET AGAINST the distribution of contraceptives) is felt differently according to class.

As long as there are progressive countries in the world that offer safe legal abortions on demand, a family with the wherewithal can send a wife or daughter to that country to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

This option is always open to the financially qualified no matter how much they may be opposed to abortion in principal, or for other people.

Only poor women are forced into unsafe, illegal procedures, that is, if they don’t want to cede control of their bodies to an ex-Hitler Youth named Ratzinger who lives in a palace in Rome and dresses funny.
