According to the presenter, “a child is not a mother” and the bill analyzed in the Chamber is “cruel to the country’s women”
Luciano Huck commented on Sunday (June 16, 2024) the discussion around the PL (bill) 1,904 of 2024, which became known as the “anti-abortion” PL, by the Chamber of Deputies. For the presenter, the project that equates abortion with the crime of homicide “reverse the roles” It is “causes deep indignation”.
“This past week, I started reading, on Thursday and Friday, that the Chamber of Deputies was evaluating a bill that equates the penalty for the crime of abortion with the crime of homicide. This project creates such an absurd situation, that regardless of your political position, your moral convictions, your religious convictions, I just wanted to say that this causes me deep indignation”, said the presenter during the program “Domingão com Huck”, on TV Globo.
He cited a rape case that recently gained attention in the media: “Last week, [teve] this haunting case of a father, theoretically a father, who was arrested this week after being caught committing a crime of sexual abuse against his own daughter, aged 17, who was admitted to an ICU”.
“Just to bring to reality, this project that is being voted on in the Chamber of Deputies, this man could face a lesser sentence than the daughter who was raped, than the victim, because if she were to terminate the pregnancy after 22 weeks , whether due to delays in justice or any other obstacle that a victim of abuse faces today in accessing legal abortion. Reverse the roles. Her sentence will be greater than his. It makes no sense”, added the presenter.
According to Luciano, “child is not mother” and the PL is “cruel to the country’s women”.

ABORTION PL
The project is authored by the deputy and evangelical pastor Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ), co-authored by 32 other congressmen from Casa Baixa. On Wednesday (June 12), in a quick vote, the Chamber approved the urgency of the PL, so that the text can be analyzed directly in the plenary, without the need to go through thematic committees.
The text establishes that, if a woman terminates a pregnancy “viable” after 22 weeks of gestation, she could be punished with the same penalty as a crime of homicide. The rule would apply to situations that currently involve the possibility of abortion. They are: rape, risk to the mother’s life and anencephalic fetus.
