Thousands of people gathered on May 3 in Mexico City to participate in the March for Life, commemorating 18 years since the decriminalization of abortion in the capital.
The event was organized by the Pasos por la Vida (Steps for Life) association and other groups, starting from the Monument to the Revolution and covering a route of over 1.2 miles to reach the City Congress, the legislative body of Mexico City.
Individuals of all ages, from young to old, along with families, marched together with banners and signs conveying pro-life messages, highlighting the need for better support for pregnant women and expressing sorrow over the consequences of almost two decades of legalized abortion.
Since April 2007, abortion has been permissible in Mexico City up to the 12th week of pregnancy, making it the first region in the country to implement this law.
