Because she lives in a low-income immi- grant neighborhood described by the government as a “ghetto,” Rokhaia will be what the Danish newspapers call a “ghetto parent” and he will be a “ghetto child.” Starting at the age of 1, “ghetto children” must be separated from their families for at least 25 hours a week, not including nap time, for mandatory instruction in “Danish values,” including the traditions of Christmas and Easter, and Danish language. Noncompliance could result in a stoppage of welfare payments. Other Danish citizens are free to choose whether to en- roll children in preschool up to the age of six.

The statements by John R. Bolton, the national security ad- viser and historically a deep skep- tic that North Korea will ever fully disarm, came as Mr. Pompeo pre- pares to make his third trip to North Korea late this week. Mr. Pompeo will arrive in Pyongyang with a proposed schedule for disarmament that would begin with a declaration by North Korea of all its weapons, production facilities and missiles. The declaration will be the first real test of the North’s candor, amid increasing concern that it may be trying to conceal parts of its nuclear program. But Mr. Bolton, appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” said Sunday that, nearly three weeks after the North Korean leader, Kim Jong- un, and President Trump met in Singapore, no such declaration has arrived. Advisers to Mr. Pompeo, both outside the government and in- side the C.I.A., which he used to di- rect, have cautioned him that North Korea will not give up its ar- senal of 20 to 60 weapons until the last stages of any disarmament plan — if it gives them up at all. Many of the plans they have given him call for the North to halt pro- duction of nuclear fuel — at a mo- ment when there are signs of in- creased production — but do not Disarm North Korea ‘in a Year’?

JEENAH MOON FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES Continued on Page A15 As partisans on both sides of the abortion divide contemplate a Su- preme Court with two Trump ap- pointees, one thing is certain: America even without legal abor- tion would be very different from America before abortion was le- gal. The moment Justice Anthony M. Kennedy announced his retire- ment, speculation swirled that Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion, would be overturned. Most legal experts say that day is years away, if it arrives at all. A more likely scenario, they predict, is that a rightward-shifting court would uphold efforts to restrict abortion, which would encourage some states to further limit ac- cess. Even then, a full-fledged return to an era of back-alley, coat-hang- er abortions seems improbable. In the decades since Roe was de- cided, a burst of scientific innova- tion has produced more effective, simpler and safer ways to prevent pregnancies and to stop them af- ter conception — advances that have contributed to an abortion rate that has already plunged by half since the 1980s. “We’re in a new world now,” said Aziza Ahmed, a law professor at Northeastern University who writes about reproductive rights law. “The majority of American women are on some form of con- traception. We take it for granted that we can control when and how we want to reproduce. We see pregnancy as within the realm that we can control.” Women have powerful tools at hand: improved intrauterine de- vices and hormonal implants that can prevent pregnancy for years at a time; inexpensive home preg- nancy tests able to detect preg- nancy very early; and morning- after pills, some even available over the counter, which can pre- vent pregnancy if taken up to five days after unprotected sex. Medication abortions enable women up to 10 weeks pregnant to take two pills, the first supervised by a doctor and the second at home, to terminate a pregnancy without surgery.

Mr. López Obrador’s win puts a leftist leader at the helm of Latin America’s second-largest econ- omy for the first time in decades, a prospect that has filled millions of Mexicans with hope — and the na- tion’s elites with trepidation. The outcome represents a clear rejection of the status quo in the nation, which for the last quarter century has been defined by a cen- trist vision and an embrace of globalization that many Mexicans feel has not served them. The core promises of Mr. López Obrador’s campaign — to end cor- ruption, reduce violence and ad- dress Mexico’s endemic poverty — were immensely popular with voters, but they come with ques- tions he and his new government may struggle to answer. How he will pay for his ambi- tious slate of social programs without overspending and harm- ing the economy? How will he rid the government of bad actors when some of those same people were a part of his campaign? Can he make a dent in the unyielding violence of the drug war, which left Mexico with more homicides last year than any time in the last two decades? And how will Mr. López Obrador, a firebrand with a tend- ency to dismiss his critics in the media and elsewhere, govern? In the end, the nation’s desire for change outweighed any of the misgivings the candidate in- spired. “It is time for a change, it’s time to go with López Obrador, and see what happens,” said Juan de Dios Rodríguez, 70, a farmer in the state of Hidalgo, a longtime bas- tion of the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which has dominated politics in Mexico for nearly his entire life. “This will be my first time voting for a different party.” In his third bid for the presiden- LEFTIST IS VICTOR IN MEXICAN VOTE Anger at Elites Fuels a Political Upheaval By AZAM AHMED and PAULINA VILLEGAS Continued on Page A10 Andrés Manuel López Obrador, center, in Mexico City on Sunday.

Political Crisis in Germany

MEXICO CITY — Riding awave of populist anger fueled byrampant corruption and violence,the leftist Andrés Manuel LópezObrador was elected president ofMexico on Sunday, in a landslidevictory that upended the nation’spolitical establishment andhanded him a sweeping mandateto reshape the country.

Mr. López Obrador’s win puts aleftist leader at the helm of LatinAmerica’s second-largest econ-omy for the first time in decades, aprospect that has filled millions ofMexicans with hope — and the na-tion’s elites with trepidation.

The outcome represents a clearrejection of the status quo in thenation, which for the last quartercentury has been defined by a cen-trist vision and an embrace ofglobalization that many Mexicansfeel has not served them.

The core promises of Mr. LópezObrador’s campaign — to end cor-ruption, reduce violence and ad-dress Mexico’s endemic poverty— were immensely popular withvoters, but they come with ques-tions he and his new governmentmay struggle to answer.

How he will pay for his ambi-tious slate of social programswithout overspending and harm-ing the economy? How will he ridthe government of bad actorswhen some of those same peoplewere a part of his campaign? Canhe make a dent in the unyieldingviolence of the drug war, whichleft Mexico with more homicideslast year than any time in the lasttwo decades?

And how will Mr. LópezObrador, a firebrand with a tend-ency to dismiss his critics in themedia and elsewhere, govern?

In the end, the nation’s desirefor change outweighed any of themisgivings the candidate in-spired.
