Brazil: public opinion on abortion legalization 2021
In a survey carried out in January of 2021, less than one third of respondents in Brazil said that they were in favor of abortion legalization. Most of the people interviewed, 58 percent, were against the legalization of this procedure. In Brazil, abortion is punished with a jail sentence, unless it falls under one of the three decriminalized cases: rape, life risk of the pregnant person, and fetus anencephaly.
