Representatives of the progressive sector in Brazil have denounced the approval by the Chamber of Deputies on June 14 of the urgent processing of a bill that equates abortion with homicide. The bill, which criminalizes abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy, has sparked widespread protests across the country. Demonstrators, including women's rights groups and reproductive rights organizations, have taken to the streets in cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to voice their opposition. The controversial legislation includes provisions that would criminalize abortion even in cases of rape. Thousands of protesters have rallied under the slogan 'A Girl Is Not A Mother' to express their outrage and demand the bill be revoked. Protests continued on June 15.
