Hundreds of women marched through Mexico City on Saturday to demand a complete end to the country’s ban on abortion. They chanted calls for greater women’s rights and held up green hankerchiefs bearing the slogan “Legalise Abortion”.
Many areas of Mexico have highly restrictive laws on abortion. In Mexico City it’s been legal since 2007 to abort within the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. And lawmakers in the southern state of Oaxaca voted just last week to follow suit. But in the rest of the country it’s against the law, except in the case of rape.
Saturday’s rally was aimed at pressurising the authorities to make it legal everywhere in Mexico. The march was mostly peaceful, although a small group of demonstrators broke away and vandalised a number of stores.
Elsewhere in the region, three Central American countries have total bans on abortion: El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras. Argentina came close to decriminalising abortion last year for any pregnancy up to 14 weeks after a measure passed in the lower house of Congress. The Senate voted it down under heavy opposition from conservative groups.
Along with Mexico City, Cuba and Uruguay are the only places in the region where women can undergo abortions during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy regardless of the circumstances.

EL PASO, Texas โ In the two hours before sunset on a recent afternoon, Border Patrol agents working the line between Ciudad Juรกrez and El Paso saw more than 100 migrants step over the Rio Grande and into the United States.
They were nearly all families traveling together from Central America seeking asylum, and they crossed in groups ranging from six people to 40. When they spotted Border Patrol vehicles, they calmly walked over to turn themselves in โ the first step to requesting asylum for those who enter the country illegally.
Carlos, a migrant from Honduras who crossed the border carrying a pale and coughing toddler, said he had initially planned to cross legally through an official port of entry. But out of the tens of thousands of people waiting, the U.S. allows in only a small percentage of asylum seekers on any given day.
โThe truth is that my son couldnโt wait,โ said Carlos. โHe is very sick.โ
The number of people found crossing the border illegally has shot up dramatically since the beginning of the year. In April, according to data released last week by CBP, the number nearly hit 100,000 โ the highest itโs been in 12 years.
Thatโs as clear an indication as possible that the Trump administrationโs strategy to deter Central American asylum seekers โ which includes metering at ports of entry, expanded detention, and forcing families back to Mexico to wait out their asylum cases โ has failed. VICE News went to the border to find out why.
This segment originally aired May 15, 2019, on VICE News Tonight on HBO.

Ruth Elizabeth Gomez was on the top of a four-meter high wall when US border agents sprayed tear gas at her and other members of the first migrant caravan that set off from Honduras in search of a better life. She passed out and fell, but says the worst was yet to come in an American migration centre before she was eventually deported home.
The indigenous communities of Reitoca and Lepaterique had friendly relations until 2017, when they entered into conflict after the Promotora de Energia Limpia S.A. (PROGELSA), came to try to build a hydroelectric dam in the Rio Grande de Reitoca in Honduras. Some of the Lenca indigenous people from Reitoca are willing to give their lives for the river that runs between arid mountains in southern Honduras, while some of the community of Lepaterique say the work must continue for the jobs it generates.
With thousands of Central American migrants turning themselves in to Border Patrol to ask for asylum each day, the U.S. is running out of space to hold them. So starting this winter ICE has been releasing them from detention into communities on the border.
Dropped into a country they know nothing about, often with no resources, their fate is left in the hands of good samaritans, nonprofits, churches, and even helpful bus station employees.
VICE News followed Brenda Del Carmen, a young mother who had never before left the Honduran village where she was born, in the days after she was released. With her four-month-old infant in tow, she tried to make her way from El Paso to Chicago, where her husband and five-year-old daughter had gone two months earlier. Like many others in their small farming community, their coffee crops had fallen sick that year.
“Honduras is really poor right now,” she said. “There is no hope.”
Facing destitution, the family gathered funds to pay a coyote to bring them to the U.S. Brenda traveled for a week with her infant Kimberly, presented herself to Border Patrol, and after a week in ICE custody, was released. She then spent more than 24 hours straight traveling through Texas, Arkansas, and Illinois to reach her family.

Wilfredo Cruz lives in the slum of El Caimito in the port city of San Lorenzo and waits for the body of his son Oscar to be returned after he died at age 17 on his way to Mexico with the “caravan” of migrants seeking the American dream and to escape misery and gang violence in Honduras.
