Pro-Abortion Activists March in Mexico City, Set Fires, Vandalize
(CNSNews.com) – During a pro-abortion protest on Sept. 28, demonstrators vandalized parts of Mexico City, lighting fires in front of the metropolitan cathedral and burning the Chamber of Commerce building, which sparked another six fires that eventually were put out by firefighters. Some protesters reportedly used hammers and baseball bats to break windows.
The protest occurred on International Safe Abortion Day, which was designated as such because the state of Oaxaca had legalized abortion several days earlier. Mexico City and Oaxaca are the only two Mexican states that have legalized abortion, with some restrictions, in the largely Catholic country. In Mexico there are 31 states plus the capital city, Mexico City.
According to local media outlet El Universal, the city utilized an an all-female law enforcement “tactic unit for the assistance of the population.†The female officers sought to contain some of the protestors from creating fires and vandalizing historic areas of Mexico City.
