The attempt to decriminalize abortion in Brazil through the courts - some considerations
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lawsuit for Non-compliance with a Fundamental Precept before the Federal Supreme Court – ADPF. Pretension of liberation of voluntary abortion during the first trimester of gestation. Adverse position of the top Federal Executive Power and Legislative Power. Protection of the unborn child against arbitrary elimination in national and international documents. Principle of impediment of retrocession in human rights prevents the deprotection of the human life already tutored against arbitrary elimination. Principle of precaution guarantees, even when in doubt about the beginning of life, the guarantee, at least, of the protection against arbitrary elimination. Consideration of the female interests with the protection for the right to life of the unborn child, in view of the fundamental precepts currently existing in Brazilian law, adequate, with the description of hypotheses in which the abortion is not punished when there is conflict with the life, health of sexual freedom of the woman, or when there is no potentiality for the life of the fetus or embryo. Disproportion between the fundaments of the exordial and its request may show a strategy of progressive alteration of the proper Brazilian fundamental precepts in an indirect way. The presence of diverse options in juridical ordainments of countries so called “more developed” does not determine its simple adoption in national law, in view of robust fundamental precepts in the opposite direction. Adequate legal ponderation in positive ordainment. Political pretensions must have their course in the proper forum, within the limits of the broad lines of the Human Rights, which do not recognize the option for not welcoming the most fragile human being under the pretext of fighting oppression against minority or female rights groups. Impossibility of restricting the recognition of the personal dignity, legitimating the possibility of rejecting otherness in the name of expanding other rights, even if they are allegedly fundamental. Need to dismiss the action.
