legal abortion
The São Paulo court recognized that the judicial decision that vetoed an abortion case for a pregnancy with no chance of extrauterine life would be a 'double punishment' for the pregnant woman.” Doctors advised the pregnant woman to abort a fetus that had no chance of surviving and could minimize “possible mental health disorders”. But the judge who received the request, however, decided that the mother's psychological suffering could not “override the right to life of the fetus”, which would not even have life. The case was reversed after intervention by the Public Defender's Office. (FSP)🚥
