Some good news: Mexico City has just voted to legalise abortion. Which is particularly impressive, given that Mexico City is the capital of the world's second-largest Catholic nation.
On a related note,
cheshire_bitten alerted me to this GetUp campaign in support of closing a legislative loophole which "allowed pregnancy counsellors to say whatever they like in their advertising to pregnant women". The closure of this loophole would mean that counselling agencies would be required to disclose in their advertising whether or not they are willing to refer for termination of pregnancy. In other words, it would basically disallow deceptive advertising practices, instead allowing women to make an informed choice regarding their choice of counselling service. So support the campaign!
