Brazil abortion debate: Gov’t imposes new rules for rape victims
Why a 10-year-old child has reignited the debate on abortion in Brazil.
Brazil has imposed new rules for rape victims seeking an abortion, requiring them to look at the fetus before the procedure.
Doctors are also obligated to report their cases to the police.
This comes two weeks after anti-abortion rights activists surrounded a hospital to stop a 10-year-old girl from terminating her pregnancy.
