在巴西，自1940年以来，根据《刑法》，堕胎被视为犯罪。在寨卡病毒疫情(2015-2017)以及随之而来的新生儿小头畸形症席卷南美洲后，巴西社会重新点燃了关于堕胎非刑事化的辩论。利用从不同社会经济阶层和两个巴西城市的育龄妇女组成的焦点小组获得的数据，我们调查了参与者对堕胎的看法，特别是在寨卡病毒流行期间使用堕胎的看法。尽管堕胎在法律上被定为刑事犯罪，但堕胎在女性中很普遍，因为这是满足她们生育愿望的一种方式。犯罪化使妇女的健康和生命处于危险之中，特别是那些经济和文化资本较少的妇女。我们还发现了朋友在女性决定使用这一过程中的作用。男女之间权力的严重不对称加剧了妇女的脆弱性。结果表明，迫切需要审查关于堕胎的立法，将其定为刑事犯罪，并在公共卫生服务的范围内选择更安全的堕胎。
In Brazil, abortion is considered a crime under the Criminal Code since 1940. After the Zika virus epidemic (2015–2017) and the consequent appearance of microcephaly in newborns struck South America, the debate on the decriminalization of abortion in the Brazilian society was reignited. Using data obtained from focus groups comprising women of reproductive age across different socioeconomic strata and two Brazilian cities, we investigated the perceptions of the participants on abortion, especially its use during the Zika epidemic. Although legally criminalized, abortion is prevalent among women, as a way to fulfill their reproductive desire. Criminalization puts the health and lives of women at risk, particularly those with less economic and cultural capital. We also discover the role of friends in women’s decision to utilize the procedure. The strong asymmetry of power between men and women contributes to the greater vulnerability of women. The results suggest an urgent need to review the legislation on abortion concerning its criminalization and the option of safer abortion within the scope of the public health service.
