Volunteer networks in Mexico aid at-home abortions without involving doctors or clinics. They’re coming to Texas.

Hi, I’m four weeks pregnant. Eight weeks. Six weeks.
The stream of pings and messages through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and WhatsApp reach Sandra Cardona Alanís at her home in this mountainous region of northern Mexico. She is an acompañante and a founder of Necesito Abortar México, a volunteer network that has helped thousands of people across Mexico access abortion, usually at home, by providing medication and support.

With the constitutional right to abortion in the United States eliminated and numerous states moving swiftly to cut off all access, more and more of the calls to Mexican organizations like Cardona Alanís’ are coming from places like Texas.

People seeking help are reaching not just over a border but across a cultural divide between two countries following distinct paths in providing reproductive health care. As abortion access is being restricted in the United States, it is expanding in Mexico.

Because abortion-inducing medication can be obtained in Mexico without a prescription, networks like the one Cardona Alanís helped found exist alongside the more traditional medical clinics that typify abortion in the United States.

The Necesito Abortar México network is one of several that operate outside the formal medical establishment, offering people the ability to manage their own abortions without visiting a clinic. They usually hear from two or three new people a day. The day the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against abortion rights, they heard from 70, half of them calling from the United States.

Even before the full effects of Roe v. Wade’s reversal kick in, Texas is being stitched into the Mexican system as the networks build out their models of helping provide safe abortion at home on an international scale. For months, they’ve been helping train volunteers that will prop up new U.S.-based networks. And they have moved thousands of doses of abortion medication into the United States, creating informal stockpiles to more easily distribute the drugs.

4. This is a great model for cooperation between all of us people. No borders.

The stupid repuglicons and their scrotus picks may have unleashed a wave of creativity amongst the people of the US, the Americas, and the world.

Idiot governors and legislators in these dumb-ass states will be powerless to stop the sharing of information and resources. They will lose their own (white) power. Thank gawd!

7. We should do it with Insulin too.

Fuck Eli Lilly.

8. Yes. Insulin is a prime example of something that should be a free human right.

Just like air and water.
Apparently the latest congressional round caps insulin prices - but only for people who are insured.

But I hear that they are trying to monetize/monopolize those also.

Women across the world know the drill and will work around their oppressors.
