April 2, 2023 GMTMembers of the Marea Verde Chihuahua collective meet at their headquarters in Chihuahua, Mexico, Monday, March 13, 2023. The organization of volunteers has supported reproductive rights in northern Mexico since 2018, providing virtual guidance as well as shipments of abortion pills for women who want to terminate a pregnancy on their own, sparking requests from the U.S. after the Supreme Court eliminate the constitutional right to abortion in 2022.
CHIHUAHUA, Mexico — Marcela Castro’s office in Chihuahua is more than 100 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, yet the distance doesn’t prevent her from assisting women in the United States in circumventing recently imposed bans on abortion. From the headquarters of Marea Verde Chihuahua, an organization that has supported reproductive rights in northern Mexico since 2018, Castro and her colleagues provide virtual guidance, as well as shipments of abortion pills for women who want to terminate a pregnancy on their own.
This abortion model, in which no travel, clinics or prescriptions are needed, sparked interest in the U.S. — and a surge of requests for help — as the Supreme Court moved to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion last year. But the model was developed by Mexican activists through decades of facing abortion bans and restrictions in most of Mexico’s 32 states.“We don’t offer medical attention because we are not doctors,” Castro said.
To safely advise women on self-managed medical abortions, Castro and her colleagues were trained to become “acompañantes” -- capable of serving as a guide and partner, whether in person or from long distance. They have carefully studied national abortion guidelines and they know by heart some protocols established by the World Health Organization.
More than half the States in the US allow abortion on demand, including New Mexico. Why would anyone be dealing with activists in Mexico where safety of product cannot be verified?
Imagine a political party so powerful, so wealthy, so cunning they can get you to believe anything. They’ll have you killing babies, indoctrinating kids into believing there’s 82 genders, ignoring sky high crime rates, embracing open borders. Democrats the party of wealth & evil.
For anyone who has seen a b-movie from the 80s called Rebel Storm, this is the moment where smuggling people over the border means from north to south.
Not surprised. If there is a market, then it will be supplied.
ap - have you heard about the $MMTLP scandal taking place? Over 65,000 investors sold hundreds of millions of counterfeits. FINRA halted trading Dec 9, 2022 to protect predatory financial institutions. SEC is involved. Valued at hundreds of billions of dollars.
Can't figure out why abortion pills would be banned
I suppose fentanyl, and humans, aren’t the only things Mexico trafficks to America.
Despite the draconian Gilead laws tRumpublicans are passing in red states, women will find a way.
If you're referring to Americans why don't they just go to another American state where it is legal ?
Who’s funding them?
Where are the democrats?! Didn't we pay them to support women? All talk!
Should all be charged with murder.
Just ship abortion pills long with the drug mules. Already an established route to drug-addled leftists.
Murderers
