Brazil: Life week mobilizes Catholics, other Christians

Catholics and other Christians in Brazil are raising awareness and pushing back against what they say are efforts to circumvent the pro-life majority among the people and in the legislature.

SÃO PAULO – Brazilian Catholics concluded a week of pro-life activities this week, many of them opposing what organizers, legislators, and activists see as efforts to short-circuit the political process in order to expand access to abortion.

One such effort is a controversial policy resolution published late last year that gave minor victims of sexual abuse the final say over pregnancies resulting from rape.
