In a Catholic country, one of the world's biggest cities ignores the Vatican



who woulda thunk it...?
After months of furious debate and threats of excommunication by the Catholic Church, Mexico City's legislative assembly on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted to legalize abortion for the first time in the capital's history.

and who knows what other depravity might come next...
Activists ... fear the vote in Mexico City, a federal district that functions much like a state, will create a domino effect, leading to similar laws elsewhere in Mexico. Last year, after the assembly passed the country's first gay civil unions law, the northern state of Coahuila passed its own civil union law, and a raft of similar proposals are now working their way through other state legislatures.

gay civil unions...? OH, N-O-O-O-O-OOOOOOOOOOO...!

i bet RAT-zinger is s-o-o-o-oooo pissed...
