Lula supports abortion as a matter of public health

“Here in Brazil it is prohibited when in reality it should be a matter of public health and everyone should have the right and not be ashamed. I do not want to have a child, I will try not to have one and I will talk about it with my partner. What cannot be is that the law requires her to have it“, defended the former leftist president and favorite for the presidential elections in October.

In this sense, the leader of the Workers’ Party (PT) highlighted that it is poor women who suffer most from this lack of the right to terminate pregnancy, since they lack resources and cannot access safe methods.

“Here in Brazil poor women die trying to have an abortion because it is prohibited, abortion is illegal,” criticized the former Brazilian president, who recalled how women with greater purchasing power can go abroad to undergo this practice, reports the newspaper ‘O Globo’.

Lula criticized that the “idea of ​​family” in Brazil is “very backward” and without mentioning the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, lamented that women need the authorization of “a man who has no morals to do that”, when “they don’t He has taken care of his children.”

“Society has evolved a lot, customs evolved and we have to have the courage to start that debate“Defended the former president, who has not yet officially launched his candidacy for the October elections.

Upon hearing Lula’s words, Bolsonaro’s associates were quick to react, including the deputy from the Liberal Party (PL), who accused him of summoning his own “to intimidate congressmen opposed to his communism.”

The former Minister of Women and Family of the Government of Bolsonaro Damares Alves assured that Lula’s “idea” “was always the culture of death” and has taken advantage of the occasion to campaign: “In the next elections our goal will be to protect life from conception ahead of the death of innocent children”, as has been read on his Instagram.
