Brazil's Congress has approved a measure that makes it harder for girls under the age of 14 to legally access abortion services, revoking a previous provision that allowed them to terminate a pregnancy without requiring family consent. The vote, reportedly concluded in around two minutes, effectively tightens restrictions on one of the few circumstances under which abortion is legal in Brazil. The move has drawn concern from rights advocates, who argue it places vulnerable minors — including victims of sexual abuse — at greater risk by introducing additional legal barriers to care.
