- Ben Zand investigates the controversial case of Evelyn Hernandez, a Salvadoran teenager raped by a gang member and then jailed for 30 years for what her supporters say was a miscarriage. El Salvador has some of the harshest abortion laws in the world, with all forms of abortion being punished and cases of miscarriages and still births often being considered abortions. Women can be sentenced for up to 40 years for having one. In the case of Evelyn, her supporters say she has been wrongly imprisoned after having a miscarriage, with her opponents on the other side saying she killed her child. Ben speaks to the people who know the case best.

Jail for having a miscarriage?! No words can describe how disgusted I feel about that law. Its just wrong on so many levels.
Ánd there are states in the US who have or are planning similar laws.
Their law was so wrong and idiot
stfu
That’s completely false. The 17 women are in prison because they committed infanticide. Don’t let the media control your thoughts
@@blane2472 those laws need to be flushed down the crapper
The guy is brave, telling a gang member that he is a psychopath lol wow the Balls he has..
Ohio Destiny Ben Zand is a fucking legend
yeah the balls this guy has.... he deserves a 7 figure salary
Yea does he still make docs? Id love to watch more i just watched his dictatorland and most dangerous cities docs if you havent seen which i assume u have theyre my fav, i want more zand but does he do anything now?
The doctor is a gem among those toxic men
You know the funny thing is the guy who admitted to killing multiple people is out free, while women who have had miscarriages are in jail?!?! Like make this make sense for me PLEASE!!!!
But you cant control a miss carriage
This is the example of "The handmaids tale." It's a shining first hand example of what will come. I can see where the writer got his inspiration from.
Not always, for example not following doctor's orders.
His Highness Danny DeVito the point is that the medical system in el salvador is not as good as in the us so it’s hard for ppl to go to a doctor and have checks
Wow, a man actually has the nerve to suggest a woman cannot know she is pregnant? On what basis?!? Because this never happens?!? The level of arrogance and stupidity is astounding...
What a toxic guy that Ricardo.
Ricardo Velasquez Parker is an extremely arrogant asshole. He is guilty of supporting a system incarcerating young girls who´s had a miscarriage. It is difficult to imagine how anyone can sink any lower than Ricardo Velasquez Parker.
I hate that guy! He needs to be taken out of power.
he literally made me sick .
Emil Sosnin Arrogance personified bloody narcissist! He certainly care about women, must be a nightmare being married to him!
I wish you could ear him speaking in Spanish way worst.
I have never been so disgusted. Thirty years for having a miscarriage?? These people are certifiably insane. Especially the 'hardcore' anti-abortion politician. If he doesn't care about the possible fate of his own daughter, everyone else is screwed. Omigod, I can barely contain my rage. Ty for reporting this. Well done.
Right
“Have you ever been pregnant”
“No I’m a man”
😂
Lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
Always an experience to watch a Ben Zand documentary.
Missmethinksalot1 two more coming up this weekend.
BBC Stories Great, looking forward to it!
I feel he is the bravest so far. It is scary how other people lives around the world in these poverty stricken places. I don't get how you can oppress poor people and protect the rich...make no sense
Missmethinksalot1 ikr whenever I see him, I know it’s going to be good
He's so fit
This is so sad ... women and new born babies have no right to a normal life...
@Meow🐈 You were right, though. Small humans have a right to not be dismembered or starved to death, too.
Its heartbreaking and sickening that such injustice is going on this day and age.
Yes, The fact that women feel that their life is more important than the life they are carrying. That they would commit murder simply because they have a convenience problem.
I agree with the doctors view. Those fetuses are potential human beings, but his patiens are humans too. He gives them the priority! I hope he will help a lot of other women in need.
If the victim wasn´t blurred out, would you feel differently? Here´s footage of who is being killed. th-cam.com/video/d8k6DjfOpew/w-d-xo.html
I was born into a communist regime that imposed very similar laws to increase the population. Women still had abortions but mostly the abortions were performed in awful conditions or using different concoctions. They did increase the population, but also the number of poor people and the number of awful orphanages since they were forcing women to have babies they didn't want or couldn't raise. I know older women traumatised by their awful experiences. Luckily I was 7 when the communists were overthrown.
Romania?
Usually communist countries have sky high rates of easy abortion.
As much as I despise Communism and population control, abortion should rarely ever be an answer. The reason why people were poor was because it was a communist regime. No one should be forced to have a baby, but there are other answers besides abortion.
If men can get pregnant, will the law change?
I doubt it. There are women who want to keep abortion illegal because of their religious beliefs.
Abortion is wrong and is something u control, but having a miscarriage is something you can’t control and is sad for both child never to live and parents being sad
@@borednot1576 I see. Thing is, I think abortion should be legal for rape victims, victims of incest, or for women with high risk pregnancies because El Salvador doesn't allow it which causes some mothers to die or abuse victims to be imprisoned.
yes
@@SmogValley what is your definition of abortion?
I wish Ricardo and the other "extremists" consider the age and literacy of the women who had these miscarriages or what he prefers to label as "abortions". If he is so adamant with his views, he should push for a movement providing full access to both women AND men from young age about sex and pregnancy.
People should only validate his views on abortions if either he 1) experience pregnancy and childbirth himself, or 2) be open to the views and opinions of ACTUAL women.
no pun intended but come on wtf talk about a miscarriage of justice
Principles are more important than most laws.
Many laws actually miss the point and are misapplied.
Just to update: She was acquitted in a retrial last year that the prosecutors are appealing.
Ben's questioning of Ricardo was really good. Good question and catch
the words of the gang member are completely horrifying
Horrifying but really, really common and frequent in those kinds of countries. It's a way of life they're hard to. They see it As no big deal to kill someone and dispose of them like rubbish because the chances of them getting caught and/or punished are pretty slim.
Great job Benjamin! I can't get enough of your documentaries! They really pull you in emotionally!
Those who don't have a uterus are the making the rules. Damn. This angers me so much.
To men who oppose abortion rights..he who hath not a uterus should shut the fucketh up!! To women who oppose abortion rights..mind your own uterus!!
Right
Common sense is first, then religion. Common sense says: if you were raped and don't want this child, you have a right to get rid of it.
I agree and my thoughs on what i call recreational abortions (i.e. an 18 yo wanted to smash her boyfriend who breaks up with her in 2 weeks and decides she doesnt want the baby) shouldnt be able to have an abortion with govt funds that raises issues with peoples personal beliefs. I dont think recreational abortions are moral i really dont but that being said under usa law i dont see my ability to restrict ones right to get one. Just no government funding to people like what i have stated above (obviously rape victims are an exception but if i were a girl and i were raped my goal would be to have that child and make him/her the most successful human out there so that the scumbag who raped me had to watch what a great individual came from his horrid act that he will now never get to be a part of just my thoughts though) thanks for reading
Well atleast you acknowledge that you are murdering a human being.,So we can see your evilness on full display. Common sense would say that it's a human life no matter how small.
@@audielamayaestrada3083typical religious room temperature IQ take
@audielamayaestrada3083 how many unaborted babies have you adopted? Or else shut up
Stop saying girl they are adult women. Real human adults.
Benjamin Zand , you put your heart in your documentaries. I have almost watched all your documentaries and waiting for more to come.
Have you ever been pregnant ?... no I am a man! Lmao
This type of crap pisses me off to the highest damn degree how and why the hell do men THINK they know what's best for a FEMALE regarding THEIR body and pregnancy especially high-risk pregnancy MY GOD I feel for these woman I WILL NEVER EVER take living in the US for granted again 😔 god please wrap your arms around these woman and protect them 😔🤷♀️🤦♀️ #godbless.
I wonder if punishment for "abortions" is equal and the same for both poor and rich women in El Salvador?
Its not because rich have doctors that testify that its stillbirth while poor are caught red handed literally
Right
Horrific...and the US is on a slippery slope. 😕
Having a man like Ricardo in a a political office is very scary. No regard for the life of the mother.
I can tell that this reporter is the saddest person on earth!!!!
This is heart breaking..
That’s what pro-lifers are fighting for?
I hope she gets out of jail asap
Touching.
Appalling that a woman goes to jail for a miscarriage!
The world is really screwed up. But GOD will take care it all very soon. I promise.
This was so crazy oh my god. Pray for our Central American countries
Mercy Rubio-Sanchez ; that’s the problem with theocracies like El Salvador. Too damn much praying, not enough thinking.
That’s only happening in El Salvador. I’m from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and that definitely not happening here. But yeah the situation looks horrible.
@@f1content364 ustedes son los unicos de los 5 de Centroamerica que no estan bien jodidos
I feel more for a BORN woman that was a victim of rape than I do for a zygote, embryo,or fetus
Do these men not know that growth is exponential? Someone explain what that means! Someday they will have too many people, and not enough water and food and housing for the population! DUH.
My poor beautiful little country how I wish for change ♡♡
Mitch Jones , yeah that's why people like you voted for Trump
Who do you think you are ? Why do you call Salvadorians a savage race. Stfu i am sure that most Salvadorians are more inteligent and nicer than you. Cheers from a Swedish dude with a Salvadorian dad!
So stupid. Men should have no say in the government on this matter.
There's been an update to this story.
Woman jailed over stillbirth is freed from 30-year sentence www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-47263743
Is there an update on Evelyn?
Wow, its such a heavy film to watch, great story telling by Ben Zand. Sharing this with friends and family for sure!
It seems to me that This is what America has to look forward to given how they are trying to ban abortion now too!?
what the hell with that man Ricardo?
Ricardo is just playing a role you can tell he's corrupted. Pay him more and he will change his so called point of view. Big guys use people like Ricardo to promote their Agenda/ propaganda. So it's just a role he's doesn't really believe that he genuinely playing a character he is still a major jerk. 😒
Just so sad 💔💔
come to Central Asia
They are a dictatorship too, the most countries in Central Asia, we will not come...
Texas Tears Texas Sunshine is a compilation of women's life stories, from the sublime to the horrendous. We, all, are not given the same blessings and opportunities in life. Ladies, you and I, can pray continually to Yehweh and work our mightiest to turn our lives into productive and honorable outcomes...regardless of others around us. Desire the best for yourselves, pray without ceasing and move away from evil.
Men should not be making decisions on behalf of women. Great question by Ben have you ever been pregnant lmao
That woman and her daughter are lying ! But this problem is being fixed, the solution is not abortion, its eliminating rapists so families can form properly!
If you have to defend your morals by invoking the law, you've already lost. Just because the law says abortion is as bad as killing a toddler, doesn't mean morally it is. And if you feel it is, your defence should be better than 'but the law!
Benjamin.. Benjamin.. You are such a great guy.. Highly empathetic being...
The worst thing is that it is always the men who have these strong views on abortions. What about womens right to decide over their own bodies
I notice that they blurred out the scene that showed the fetus in the bowl
30 years for a miscarriage...*DA FUCK*
If I was a woman living in El Salvador, I would leave the country.
Not that easy
turn vegetarian guys, killing an animal for dinner is also a crime then, sick laws.
30 years in jail for quote on quote abortion!
Any update on the case?
El Salvador is a horrible place between the gangs n antiquated laws the poor women have to suffer...just horrible
BENJAMIN ZAD I really like your videos you are brave god bless u
How about worlds worst place to be a unborn baby
WTF😡🤬...This fucking world going backwards 😤 😒
Mexicali and Juarez and Canadia… also like that doesn’t include India… #Prolly 🤷♂️
And so many think we have it so bad in America !
This law is good for not doing abortion becos life is once but not good for the women that accuse without explaination for her rights... [up to 40 years
13:21
Which country is it
Read the video description
Men making decisions 💁🏻♀️
Ben burnt the Ricardo guy!
Good job 👍🏻👍🏻
His voice sounds like Edward Kenway
💙💙💙
I dont understan why they put on jail the womans that have miscarriage... they dont control it, but iam not in favor to abort
That politician who is male is explaining abt pregnancy. Women should leave these countries I knw it's hard..
How can a woman not know she's pregnant ?
Total bs
Now I am in the conflicting Situation in great work and men should not be involved with pregnancy or gynevcplogy in any form whatsoever
It's also like for the nthd time, assuming that's a person is only important in so far as this means it's a person attacing another person not an orgnaism being parasitic. That dosn't change that it's fully ones right to have an abortion, because it's fully ones body.
That rather absurd argumentation only means is value-less to try to get as many abortions as possie done as early as possible.
It DOSN'T MATTER. Also it dosn't qualify as human being because it looks human. A puppet can look human, a wax figure, a corps, an avatar. The point is can it actually think (and somewhat can it feel), but apprently to my fellow human people mostly the thinking matters otherwise they'd all be vagans.
It's like I can't stand this "it's life" when it's said, expecilly of a men who I don't personally think should have anything to do with anything whatsoever, because it's never an observation it's always a political affirmation behind that, of it has the right over it's mothers body. I think that's the differnce between that and that ethecits.
He was exploring that interlectually and that made it much more interresting because he wasn't saying let's debate wether I should get to decide over your body.
we have the same birthday
I was gonna ask where were the feminists at but now, no. They wouldn't agree to no abortion laws. Lol
*Vice News ...is that you ?*
9:18 I love this guy💞💞💞
She knew she was pregnant!!!
I love your video but could you ad Eglish sub for the next video, please !
i love ben zand
❌Abrahamic religions❌
Im sorry Im ashamed of being human
I agree with Mr. Parker, killing babies is the worst crime a human can think of. They are NOT fetuses but innocent children who cannot defend themselves, if you kill your baby, you no longer deserve to be part of a society. God's wrath be upon all those who sacrifice their children for their own selfish well-being. The parents are responsible for what they do with their bodies and have to pay the price for the horrible crimes they can commit.
sounds like a shi oh never mind
Dangerous yes but there is very nice architecture there especially the colonial stuff and lots of green mountains
Wouldn't call it a shithole
Infact take out the violence Iberoamerica has lots of potential tbh
Welcome to Evangelical Conservative Utopia
Yeah, how dare we want to protect the lives of the most vulnerable and helpless of human beings.
@@jokerswild4577 a foetus isn't a human being until it can survive outside the body. Until then it is a parasite.
@@jokerswild4577I Wonder how it feels like to not have a single bit of love in the heart at all. These woman are closer to god than you are. God will forgive them but your audacity and wicked will be remember forever, you value more a baby who is still non existing more than a person you see in front of you, maybe because you like to think you are a good person in your mind, you can do anything for the idea of "saving" a unborn child, it is distant from reality, but a true person who is suffering in front of you, that no. I Wonder where the love goes when you actually have to put it in to test. Im Very sorry for the Baby, but doesn't all things go as GOD planned in the end ?
Isn't it HIS will ?
#babyslivesmatter
meanwhile the woman gets jailed for 30 years for stillbirth or miscarriage
These translations are completely wrong.
Give us an example.
Seconded. Back up your statement
no they aren't. a Spaniard himself is telling you this
Oriol98 Ok. Pls give a specific example. I believe you, but I like evidence.
Zed they are perfectly translated stop lying. Certain phrases and figures of speech cannot be translated verbatim of course.
I find your takes with criminals so fake.. I just don't believe them.. probably put into scene..
I dont support voluntary abortion at all, but women who have natural miscarriages should not go to jail
Your a man, don't comment on women's bodies
There's nothing wrong with the law. You have a life so why are u denying someone's life?
How about spontaneous abortion or miscarrige? The mother didnt want it to happen. I experienced it, it still hurts me, i never wanted it to happen. Then this girl who had miscarriage was imprisoned? Wtf 😒😭
Such primitive thinking.. This is why the world isn’t evolving.
That doctor just committed murder on that baby, his hands are dripping with blood, the human is laying there in a dish, and you are just standing there. What the hell is wrong with you? You need help. I know you think abortion is OK, but it isn't. You are an accomplice to murder. I hope you don't sleep at night.
Edit:
Whoever filmed this seriously needs to report the doctor in this film who is killing children to the police. Seriously not cool. You are a witness to murder. If you don't report him I hope a local investigator and police sees this film and comes after you.
git user53 he saved a young woman's life. Who got RAPED. He might be a murderer to you but he is a saviour to many others. And the fact that you simply comment on the doctor who performed an abortion instead of the gang member who admitted to killing multiple women tells me a lot about your character.
Carrie Woo it was never stated in the film that the woman who had this abortion was raped, neither did it day her life was at risk, so you are just making things up. Regardless, murder is murder is murder.
git user53 exactly at 13:18 he says that. Imagine getting raped just to have some insensitive person on TH-cam comment that you putting yourself first is murder...
Carrie Woo insensitive? Lol coming from the person who is fine with killing an unborn child.
Carrie Woo I don't take the words of a baby murder as Gospel. If you can kill a baby you can lie no problem.
I don’t believe in abortion but if the mother is going to die *because* of the baby then maybe. But it is still a potential life you are taking so think very carefully about your actions
You have to be anonymous because of your insipid comment. It is a FOETUS. And quite frankly, cancer, rape etc would not be issues created by the foetus. Circumstances occur, dna ailments occur and if a woman wants to abort for whatever reason, she can, it is her body!!!!!! Nobody else should dictate what a woman does. Your justification for an abortion is stupid
