{news} Mexicio's Green Party proposes increasing penalties forabortion?

[Christopher Reilly]

Keep in mind is that Mexico's Green Party is (literally) a family owned 
business.  A couple of years ago the party was caught on tape negotiating a 
$2 million fee in return for their favorable votes on some 
anti-environmental legislation.  Like George Bush, they don't do anything 
for free and without getting their payment in advance so my guess is that, 
for whatever reason, money has already changed hands.

>   MEXICO CITY: Mexico's small Green Party said Friday it is seeking to 
>toughen penalties for illegal abortions, a bid to counteract efforts by 
>leftist legislators to legalize the procedure.
>   Green Party Sen. Arturo Escobar said a bill introduced to the Senate on 
>Thursday proposes increasing prison sentences for women who have an 
>abortion and anyone who forces a woman to abort against her will.
>   The measure aims to challenge a bill filed Tuesday in the lower house by 
>the Democratic Revolution Party, or PRD — the second-largest bloc in 
>Congress — to legalize abortion in Mexico, where about 90 percent of people 
>are at least nominally Catholic.
>   "Mexican society is only prepared to allow abortion when the pregnancy 
>is the result of rape, when the fetus has congenital defects or when the 
>life of the woman is at risk," Escobar said.
>   The PRD's bill to legalize abortion nationwide is expected to face a 
>tough test in Congress, where President Felipe Calderon's conservative 
>National Action Party is the biggest force.
>   However, a bill presented by PRD lawmakers in Mexico City to allow 
>abortion during the first three months of pregnancy is expected to be 
>approved in April by the city's legislature, where the PRD holds a 
>majority.
>   The abortion bills have launched a protracted fight between liberal 
>lawmakers and conservative forces in Mexico.
