Abortion Still Illegal in Brazil | Al Jazeera America

Abortion Still Illegal in Brazil | Al Jazeera America: The mother of two from an affluent neighborhood in S�o Paulo knew her decision was illegal in Brazil, and yet she believed it was the right choice for her. Moreover, she had faith in the doctor she trusted to carry out the procedure.
“I think it’s difficult to do something clandestine, but I don’t think I should go to prison. I don’t think I should be punished by law,” she said. “I think it’s totally a moral judgment. There are philosophical questions as to whether you should do this or not.”
Abortion remains illegal in Brazil except in cases of rape, danger to the life of the mother or brain deformity. However, as many as 1 million women risk their health — and their freedom —�by ending pregnancies illegally in the country every year.
