          Abstract

          El aborto provocado es un tema que ha sido muy discutido en Brasil desde hace mucho años, sin que se haya conseguido cambiar el texto del Código Penal vigente desde 1940. El Código considera que el aborto es ilegal y un crimen contra la vida. Solamente es permitido em dos casos: si no hay otra forma de salvar la vida de la embarazada o si el embarazo resulta de una violación y el aborto es precedido por el consentimiento de la embarazada. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar como se ha enfrentado el problema del aborto a nível de políticas gubernamentales y legislativas, especificamente la discusión en el Congreso Nacional considerando la actuación del movimiento de mujeres. En este ensayo es enfocado el debate sobre el aborto provocado en el poder legislativo y como éste fue precedido, acompañado y seguido por acciones del movimiento organizado de mujeres. Otros actores políticos y sociales involucrados en el debate, tal como la Iglesia Católica, sectores de la categoria médica y las religiones evangélicas, son mencionadas.

          Translated abstract

          Induced abortion has been discussed in Brazil for many years without producing changes in the Penal Code in force since 1940 and according to which it is illegal and a crime against life. There are only two circumstances in which induced abortion is allowed: when there is no other recourse for saving the pregnant woman' life, and when the pregnancy resulted from rape and the abortion is preceded by the woman's informed consent. The purpose of this article is to show how the abortion problem has been dealt with under executive and legislative policies, focusing especially on discussion in Congress considering the role of organized women's groups. The study focuses on the legislative debate on induced abortion and how it was preceded, accompanied, and followed by actions by the women's groups. Other political and social actors involved in the debate, such as the Catholic Church, sectors of the medical community, and protestant religions are mentioned.
