| dc.description.abstract | This article analyzes recent neoconservative practical and discursive attacks targeting the branches of the Brazilian State, aiming specifically to undermine reproductive rights. Particular attention is given to developments since 2019, a period marked by intensified anti-abortion efforts following Jair Bolsonaro’s election and the substantial increase in far-right representation within Brazil’s National Congress. These attacks have been predominantly driven by politicians and public officials closely aligned with Christian religious fundamentalism and patriarchal ideology. Within the Legislative Branch, the analysis highlights proposals such as Bill 1904 of 2024, which has become emblematic in revealing deliberate strategies aimed at eliminating all exceptions to abortion criminalization. Within the Executive Branch, the article describes systematic obstacles to the legal implementation of abortion, underscoring troubling alliances between healthcare professionals, professional councils, and the criminal justice system in investigating and punishing both self-induced abortions and abortions performed with the consent of the pregnant individual. The Judiciary is examined through pending legal decisions on critical issues such as medical confidentiality, regulation of the medical procedure of fetal asystole, the identified “unconstitutional state of affairs” surrounding legal abortion access, and established protocols for abortion care for rape survivors. As demonstrated throughout this analysis, based on rigorous content analysis of legislative documents, bills, institutional actions, and organized resistance by social movements, the scope of these attacks extends far beyond mere moral agendas. They actively contribute to the destabilization of democratic institutions and represent significant setbacks for social justice. | es_ES |
| dc.description.abstract | El artículo analiza algunos ataques práctico-discursivos neoconservadores a los Poderes del Estado brasileño, contra los derechos sexuales y reproductivos, realizados por políticos y gestores de la administración pública alineados al fundamentalismo religioso cristiano y al patriarcado. En el ámbito del Poder Legislativo se presentan propuestas, en particular el Proyecto de Ley 1904, de 2024, que se ha vuelto emblemático por exponer la estrategia para la revocación de cualquier causal de exclusión del delito de aborto. En el ámbito del Poder Ejecutivo, se describen los obstáculos a la realización del aborto por vía legal y la eficiencia del sistema de justicia penal, incluido el promovido por los profesionales de la salud y los consejos profesionales, para investigar y sancionar el aborto autoinducido y el aborto inducido por otros con el consentimiento de la mujer embarazada. En el ámbito del Poder Judicial se examinan cuestiones pendientes de decisión como el secreto médico, la regulación del acto médico de asistolia fetal, el “estado de cosas inconstitucional” del aborto legal y los protocolos de aborto para víctimas de violación. Estos ataques van más allá de una mera agenda moral. Contribuyen a desestabilizar las democracias y la justicia social. Al fin y al cabo, ponen en tela de juicio las garantías de una vida digna para las minorías, los derechos individuales, el principio de laicidad y la igualdad como valor civilizatorio. | |
