In order to do it, this study is based on discourse analysis about abortion, sexuality and reproduction in local newspapers during the social movements in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century. It emphasizes that women’s bodies are responsible of national honor; therefore, they are controlled and regulated in every boundary. In the first place, the conservative political system is explained; afterwards, abortion cases in Tijuana and the political conflicts caused in both sides of the border (Tijuana-San Diego) are presented. Finally, it concludes that political struggles related to women’s bodies or feminized bodies demarcate classifications and social stratifications. En este texto se analiza cómo las contiendas y negociaciones por los significados de las feminidades producen a las fronteras geopolíticas, específicamente en la ciudad de Tijuana, México. Para ello, este estudio se basa en el análisis discursivo de los diarios locales sobre el aborto, la sexualidad y la reproducción, situándolo en el contexto de los movimientos sociales de los sesenta y setenta del siglo XX. Lo que se destaca es que en los cuerpos femeninos recae el honor de la nación y, por ende, las formas de control y regulación de sus respectivas fronteras. En un primer momento, se expone el aparato político conservador de la ciudad. Posteriormente, se presentan los casos de aborto en Tijuana y los conflictos políticos que se generaron entre los dos lados de la frontera (Tijuana-San Diego). Se concluye que las pugnas políticas que recaen en los cuerpos femeninos y feminizados demarcan las clasificaciones y estratificaciones sociales que producen y yacen en las fronteras.
