VOICED : Brasilenas protestan contra ley que recorta derecho al aborto

In Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian women protested against a controversial law that could restrict abortion rights. The law, initially aimed at extending maternity leave for mothers of premature babies, was altered by conservative lawmakers to declare life inviolable from conception. This move sparked outrage among activists who view it as a Trojan horse. The protest highlighted the significant influence of religious groups in Brazilian politics. Currently, abortion in Brazil is legal only in cases of rape, risk to the mother's life, or anencephaly. The protest ended in chaos when police used tear gas. The law will be reviewed with amendments before a full vote.
