Abortion in Mexico- EZLN Documentary

"The Other Campaign" was a movement spurred by the Zapatista Liberation Army that sought to unite progressive movements in Mexico for the purpose of change and social justice. In this clip from an ELZN documentary, a Mexican woman speaks about the need for women to have autonomy and control over their own bodies. She also makes a compelling argument about the barriers that working-class women face in the realm of abortion politics. Mexico City has just made abortion in the first-trimester legal (see previous post), and has recognized the barriers that the poor and working-class face by making the procedure free/affordable to those facing economic hardship.

"When we talk about rebellion, put the word abortion on the table."
