SÃO PAULO, 5 Dez (Reuters) - Quando Rebeca Mendes engravidou em 2017, ela lutou pelo direito de abortar no Brasil. O Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) negou seu pedido de permissão, então ela viajou para a Colômbia para interromper a gravidez. Agora ela é uma ativista pelo direito de fazer abortos seguros e legais no país, onde eles só são permitidos em caso de estupro, anencefalia ou se a vida da mãe estiver em perigo. As perspectivas não são boas para ativistas da causa.

The Supreme Court denied her request, so she flew to Colombia to terminate her pregnancy. Now she helps other women do the same, as well as pushing for the right to have safe and legal abortions in Brazil, where they are only allowed in the case of rape, fetal deformation or when the mother's life is in danger.
