The House bill that equates abortion after 22 weeks of gestation with the crime of homicide has 33 authors. Of the deputies who signed the proposal, 11 are women.
They are: Bia Kicis (PL-DF), Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), Cristiane Lopes (União-RO), Dayany Bittencourt (União-CE), Coronel Fernanda (PL-MT), Franciane Bayer (Republicanos-RS) , Greyce Elias (Avante-MG), Julia Zanatta (PL-SC), Lêda Borges (PSDB-GO), Renilce Nicodemos (MDB-PA) and Simone Marquetto (MDB-SP). The project must still have a rapporteur appointed by the President of the House, who promised a “woman, centrist and moderate” to evaluate the proposal. “We are going to make a female, centrist, moderate rapporteur, so that she can give space to all the currents that think differently”, stated President Arthur Lira (PL), at a conference in Curitiba, the day before yesterday.
With the urgency approved, the matter is analyzed directly in the plenary, without having to go through discussions in thematic committees of the Chamber. The expectation of the main author of the proposal, Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ), and the president of the Frente Evangélica, Eli Borges (PL-TO), is that the merit will be voted on next week. However, there is still uncertainty regarding the date.
Regarding the criticism received, Sóstenes told the Estadão which will take advantage of the project’s report to increase the sentence for rapists. In addition to him and Eli Borges, among the men, Abilio Brunini (PL-MT), Captain Alden (PL-BA), Evair Vieira de Melo (PP-ES), Delegate Paulo Bilynskyj (PL-SP), also signed the proposal. Gilvan da Federal (PL-ES), Filipe Martins (PL-TO), Dr. Luiz Ovando (PP-MS), Bibo Nunes (PL/RS), Mario Frias (PL/SP), Delegado Palumbo (MDB/SP) , Ely Santos (Republicanos-SP), Dr. Frederico (PRD-MG), Delegado Ramagem (PL-RJ), Junio Amaral (PL-MG), Pastor Eurico (PL-PE), Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), Pezenti (MDB-SC), Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) and Fred Linhares (Republicanos-DF).
PSOL
Signed by congresswoman Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP), leader of the bench, parliamentarians filed a request for changes to the project. The idea is to prevent abortion victims from being criminalized if they choose to terminate their pregnancy after the deadline set out in the original project.
If the text is maintained in both Houses of the National Congress, the decree-law that regulates legal abortion will have the following addition: “If the pregnancy results from rape and there is fetal viability, presumed in pregnancies above 22 weeks, it will not apply to exclusion of punishment.”
