'It’s a different world,' said Sandra Cardona, a member of a Mexican network. A Latin American activist called the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision a 'barbaric setback.'
According, a medical organization that defines itself as helping with the legal interruption of pregnancy in Mexico, 25% of its clientele comes from the U.S. In Monterrey, people who travel from the U.S. buy abortion medications that cost $20 to $150, but at La Abortería they can be free.The Mexican activists say that almost all people seeking help use means such as social networks to contact them and, in many cases, are more than six weeks pregnant.
“The case of the United States is an example that women’s rights can never be taken for granted, not even in the Global North. They are rights that must be constantly defended, and permanent actions must be taken to avoid any type of setbacks,” said Cristina Rosero, senior legal counsel at the U.S.-based Center for Reproductive Rights, which advocates for reproductive rights as a human right through a network of attorneys.
"Unfortunately, because I did not have immediate medical assistance, I lost my baby. Besides, I almost died, and then I went to jail," she said."That is the suffering that affects us women. We are the ones who pay the consequences of these laws so unfair." "We have an interesting wave in several of the most representative countries that are moving towards an increasingly broad decriminalization of abortion," Rosero said.The green tide, as the movements in defense of abortion rights are known, have influenced legal changes.
