CONTEXT: Mexican states' abortion laws vary, but in all states and the Federal District, induced abortions are legal in same circumstances. Public knowledge and opinions about abortion laws affect access to safe services.
METHODS: Survey data from a nationally representative sample of 907 men and women aged 15-24 in 2000 were analyzed to explore knowledge and opinion about abortion laws. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with participants' knowing that abortions are sometimes legal in their state and with participants' attitudes toward abortion.
