HOW LEGAL ABORTION WORKS IN BRAZIL: CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THEIR EFICACY

The project addresses the functioning of legal abortion in Brazil, as 
well as Constitutional Rights and their effectiveness regarding this matter. Legal 
doctrines will serve as the basis to understand and discuss the intentions and 
performance of legislation within the Brazilian context. The purpose of this study 
is to analyze the effectiveness of the law governing abortion and to examine the 
challenges faced in its application. The research will be qualitative, employing the 
case study method. Data collection will rely on bibliographic and documentary 
research, focusing on official institutional documents, such as the 1988 Federal 
Constitution, the Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, reports, and 
jurisprudence.
