Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox court case ADPF 442 is an ongoing case of the Supreme Court of Brazil concerning the decriminalization of abortion, in any circumstance, up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.[1] As it stands, the Brazilian Penal Code prohibits abortion except in cases of rape and risk to the mother's life, and in the case of anencephalic fetuses (see ADPF 54).Шаблон:Efn
A positive result in this case would bring Brazilian legislation closer to some of its Latin American neighbors, such as Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Guyana, Mexico and Uruguay.
Background
Former Supreme Court minister Rosa Weber was due for mandatory retirement on 2 October 2023.[1] As president, Weber brought the case for deliberation,[2] and as rapporteur, cast the initial, 129-page vote on 22 September 2023 during a virtual session.[1][3]Шаблон:Efn Voting on the case was then suspended and will return in-person at a later, unspecified date.[4] She voted in favor of the decriminalization of abortion up to 12 weeks.
She went on to retire on 30 September 2023, leaving the presidency of the court to minister Luís Roberto Barroso.[5] Her successor, as of 13 November 2023 yet to be nominated, will likely not be able to recast a vote in this case.[6]
