Austin, Texas
Karina Muñoz is working at a clinic in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, that specializes in women’s health services. She said that she receives 100 to 150 calls on a daily basis in matters of abortion services.
She specified that at least half of the callers are from the U.S. and most calls are from Texas, which has a 230-mile-long border with Tamaulipas, Mexico’s northeasternmost state.
When they receive these calls, she clarifies to their clients that even if Mexico’s high court set a legal precedent and decriminalized abortion a case from Coahuila, another state that shares a long border with Texas, abortion is still illegal in Tamaulipas.
