The decision by the Mexico City Assembly to legalize abortion angered many in a society where many practice Roman Catholicism. Some bloggers like Ciudad de Mexico [ES] presents arguments from both sides but wonders “why not allow a public debate on the matter?” or better yet a referendum to let the public decide. There are some bloggers like Goleech [ES] who is “for the despenalizacion of abortion, but not necessarily for abortion” and is also in favor of more discussion and debate on the matter.
