Instead, Brazil’s high court has approved of slaughtering the country’s most vulnerable people, the severely disabled. Eugenic abortion further erodes respect not only for human dignity in general, but the dignity of the disabled in particular. Protecting the innocent is a chief duty of the legislature, and the court was wrong to overstep its authority and tear down the protections long ago established by Brazil’s lawmakers–protections that are consistent with the pro-life views of most Brazilians.” ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/17/brazil-condemned-for-allowing-abortions-on-disabled-babies/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/17/adf-comment-on-brazil-high-courts-decision-to-approve-eugenic-abortions/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/17/adf-comment-on-brazil-high-courts-decision-to-approve-eugenic-abortions/#comments Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:02:45 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=131330 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/17/adf-comment-on-brazil-high-courts-decision-to-approve-eugenic-abortions/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/13/brazil%e2%80%99s-supreme-court-decriminalizes-abortions-where-fetuses-develop-without-brains/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/13/brazil%e2%80%99s-supreme-court-decriminalizes-abortions-where-fetuses-develop-without-brains/#comments Fri, 13 Apr 2012 16:11:43 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=131081 Washington Post: Abortion is illegal in Brazil except when a pregnancy threatens the life of the mother and in cases of rape.
