Raquel Salas and her daughter Rebeca noted that discussing abortion was once considered taboo in their community, indicating a significant shift in attitude over the years. Many Latino families were hesitant to bring up such issues, often fearing backlash from their community or religious organizations. However, this has now begun to change as more open discussions on women's rights and reproductive health are occurring, reflecting a broader transformation in Latino attitudes toward abortion.
Mayra Rodriguez passionately advocates for abortion rights, stating, 'If you don't like the heat, then imagine hell.' This metaphor captures her urgency and motivation to fight for Prop 139, which would significantly expand abortion access. Rodriguez’s commitment to this cause is evident even in challenging conditions, like campaigning in a hot RV. She believes that enshrining abortion rights is fundamental for women’s autonomy and reflects changing priorities among Latino voters.
