Mexico City Legalizes Infanticide

Yipee!!!  People in Mexico City can kill babies!!!  Yeah for the Left!!!

Mexico City lawmakers voted to legalize abortion Tuesday, a decision likely to influence policies and health practices across Mexico and other parts of heavily Roman Catholic Latin America.

The proposal, approved 46-19, with one abstention, will take effect with the expected signing by the city’s leftist mayor.

Abortion opponents have already vowed to appeal the law to the Supreme Court, a move likely to extend the bitter and emotional debate in this predominantly Catholic nation.

“Decriminalizing abortion is a historic triumph—a triumph of the left,” said city legislator Jorge Diaz Cuervo, a social democrat who voted for the bill. “Today, there is a new atmosphere in this city. It is the atmosphere of freedom.”
