      This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief and Authors.
      The authors recently discovered an error that affected the results in their article on the relationship between state-level maternal mortality in Mexico and state-level abortion legislation. In Table 2 the beta-coefficient for abortion legislation was calculated as -22.49 and erroneously interpreted as +22.49. This error affects several of the paper's conclusions, and thus the editor and authors have jointly made the decision to retract the paper.
      The authors would like to express their sincere regret at the errors in their initial report.
