1000 Brazilian Women To Be Denounced For Abortions

Nearly 1000 women and their partners are to be publicly denounced for having abortions in a Brazil clinic, as women's groups slammed the move as an inquisition. Prosecutor Paulo Cesar dos Passos said that 150 women in western Campo Grande have so far been reported to authorities for ending their pregnancies, and he expects the number to reach 1000. "We're also processing their lovers and husbands who paid, accepted or encouraged the procedure," he said, adding the names of some 10,000 women who went to the Campo Grande clinic from 2000 onward have been made public. Abortion is illegal in Brazil, except in cases of rape or when pregnancy puts a mother's life at risk. But penalties for lawbreakers only range from one to three years in jail.
