Erika Hilton Comments
The deputy declared a series of tweets on the X network, the former Twitter. “Among them is the amnesty for women arrested and investigated for aborting in Brazil. Women trapped for daring to exercise their right to their own body, many of them stuck only because of the color of their skin, their bank balance or their zip code. This is the amnesty that interests us.”
“The rights of all women are at risk all over the world, and what we need is the courage to continue fighting for them. And we never cowered by the hatred of those who want us killed,” he added.
