Abortion in Brazil: Documentary - Habeas Corpus

This video contains graphic footage of human rights abuses



The documentary is about Tatielle’s suffering, a young woman from Morrinhos, a town in Goiás state’s rural area. She was five months pregnant of a fetus that wouldn’t survive the delivery, when a judge authorized her to perform an abortion (abortions are generally illegal in Brazil). However, a habeas corpus presented by a priest who didn’t know Tatielle stopped the medical procedure that was going to interrupt the pregnancy. Tatielle was already feeling birth contractions when she was released from the hospital. Back to her city, Tatielle agonized for five days feeling the pains of a delivery that was prohibited by Religion, as well as the Justice system.

    I don't know if there's a god out there or not. But if there is, I definitely don't think he'd like what the priest did. Since when did it become better in "God's" eyes to be an asshole?

    I agree with brazil617ma its a moral obligation if the mothers life is at risk, to abort the baby. that doesn't mean it won't her the mother, father and the rest of the family. it won't be a joyous ocassion. I've witness this personally, its just as hurtful and devastating as a miscarriage
