Article Synopsis
- - In Brazil, there are over 800,000 abortions annually, with around 250,000 women requiring emergency care for complications from unsafe abortions.
- - A proposed bill would make it a felony for patients to undergo abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy, even in legally permissible situations, which contradicts several UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and gender equality.
- - One suggested solution to the abortion issue in Brazil is to enhance investment in sexual education for adolescents to help reduce the need for unsafe procedures.
