LIVE: Brazilian Women Protest Against Draconian Pro-Abortion Bill That Links Abortions to Homicide
Conservative leaders in the Brazilian Congress are trying to push a bill that would incriminate abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy. This has triggered nationwide protests, with women across Brazil demanding that this bill should not come into effect. Women in cities including Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Brasília were seen carrying placards that read "a girl is not a mother", as art of their agitation. Protesters fear that such a law could have adverse effects on victims of rape and abuse, and girls under the age of 18. Brazil's ruling government is not supportive of this proposal, but it is being debated in the Parliament. Watch Firstpost's live coverage to know more.
