Induced abortion, or the voluntary termination of pregnancy, is a controversial issue in Mexico. The procedure is offered on request to any woman with up to twelve weeks into a pregnancy in Mexico City, but forbidden in 18 out of 32 Mexican state constitutions (except in case of rape) and only 13 allow it when the life of the mother is in danger. As of April 2015, 138,792 abortions have been carried out in the capital city since its decriminalization (2007). Conversely, more than a 679 women haven been accused or sentenced for abortion in conservative-leaning states, such as Guanajuato.
