Legal Possibility of Terminating the Pregnancy of a Microcephalic Foetus

Currently, the debate on abortion has returned to the forefront due to the outbreak of microcephaly in our country, caused by the Zika virus epidemic, raising discussion about the legal possibility of terminating the pregnancy of a microcephalic foetus. The Judiciary's most recent rulings show a slight inclination towards relaxing a woman's right to decide whether or not to continue her pregnancy, but this is no guarantee that the decriminalisation of abortion is just around the corner.
