Jan 13 (Reuters) - New Mexico towns would be prohibited from restricting access to abortion under legislation proposed on Friday by Democratic lawmakers in a state where the procedure remains legal after Roe v. Wade was struck down.
The move comes after a New Mexico town near the Texas border passed an ordinance designed to ban abortions as part of a national push by anti-abortion activists into Democratic-controlled states.
Under the draft legislation, local governments would be prevented from overriding state laws guaranteeing women's rights to reproductive health care.
