Enough of playing ostrich is the title of an article by Jacqueline Pitanguy, published in Veja magazine on August 25, 1993. Defending the need to discuss abortion within the framework of a secular and plural State, which respected both the right not to have an abortion without consent and the right to choose to terminate the pregnancy in certain circumstances. And stating that parliamentarians needed to “face with courage the challenge of abortion in the reform of the Penal Code”.
The return to the past, at this moment, brings many reflections on the present of Brazil.
