TL;DR Summary

Women in Honduras are terminating pregnancies with the help of clandestine networks that use code words, aliases, encrypted messages, and burner phones to make the procedure as safe as possible. Honduras has one of the world's strictest abortion bans, with a constitutional prohibition on terminating pregnancy in all cases, even rape. Activists in the networks use code words, aliases, encrypted messages, burner phones. Most don't know one another, or any specifics beyond their role in the chain that ultimately provides information and the abortion pills endorsed by the World Health Organization and used safely and legally in dozens of other countries around the globe.
