Hey! Can I ask for your help with something very important?
Here in Brazil, abortion is only legalized in cases of rape, acephaly in the fetus or in cases where pregnancy compromises the life of the mother.
This last week, the evangelical bench in our senate is proposing a law that criminalizes abortion in any case, even in rape. The rape victim who performs an abortion can face up to 20 years in prison.
80% of rape victims in Brazil are girls under 14 years of age. They are often raped at home, by parents, uncles, grandparents. The penalty for these girls will be greater than that of their rapists.
So I would like to ask if you can disclose a link, which will lead to a website created for people to get their opinion on this law, the law calls PL1904 - 2024.
There, the person will need to register your name and email. And vote on your opinion.
People need to vote for "Discordo totalmente", that is “I totally disagree”.
We are winning. 12% for I totally agree and 88% for I totally disagree. But Brazil is a country where, unfortunately, 80% of the congress is dominated by men, Christians and super conservatives.
They want to rule in our bodies, our life choices. Can you imagine for a 12-year-old girl to have to choose between spending 20 years in jail or giving birth to the result of the worst thing she could have gone through in her life?
So the link is down here. PLEASE, we need of help.
