Women in Honduras use secret networks to bypass abortion ban.

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.
