Disputes over the 2023 law, backed by the powerful farm lobby, have fomented the protests by Indigenous groups that say it violates their rights to ancestral lands recognised in Brazil’s 1988 constitution.

By Lais MoraisSAO PAULO (Reuters) – When Rebeca Mendes became pregnant, she fought for the right to have an abortion in Brazil. The Supreme Court denied her request to allow it in 2017, so she flew to Colombia to terminate her pregnancy. Now she is an activist for the right to have safe and legal abortions in a country where they are only allowed in the case of rape, fetal deformation or the mother’s life is in danger. The prospects are not good.

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.

By Lais Morais and Amanda Perobelli SAO PAULO (Reuters) -When Brazilian Rebeca Mendes became pregnant in 2017, she fought for the right to have an abortion in her home country. 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.
