Chamber of Deputies
Bonnafoux Alcaraz was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 2018 election. In 2019, she stated that she opposes the legalization of abortion in Mexico and affirmed that PAN is a pro-life party. She argued that:
"It is not a moral or religious issue, science says it clearly: when a female cell and a male cell join together, it is already a new being, it has its own DNA, it generates its own organs..."
Noting the issue of femicide in Mexico, Bonnafoux Alcaraz said that "We have too many homicides in the country, too many femicides to also become an infanticidal country". She stated that PAN's opposition to abortion is consistent with its status as a "humanist party". She is a supporter of the National Front for the Family, a socially conservative organization.
In 2020, she proposed an amendment to guarantee the right to education during a strike.
