The southern Mexican state of Oaxaca has decriminalised abortion, making it the second jurisdiction in the country to allow terminations for women who are up to 12 weeks pregnant.Campaigners on both sides of the debate took to the streets outside the congressional building during the contentious vote.
Some wore green scarves to show their support for legal abortion and carried banners that read:"the debate is not abortion or no abortion, but a legal or clandestine one".
