| Message | "Regarding this bill we have no choice but to vote no. The first article restrains the liberty to treat your body as you please and also forces women that may have been raped - or had gotten pregnant by accident - to have the baby against its will, what can lead to abuse and several psychological problems that will ensure the growth of expenditure in social services. As of the second, it takes away the chance to low-income women seek abortion and not only it'll lead to all of the aforementioned consequences, but also will it lead to an increase in inequality." Marcos Serra, President of the PSDT |
