Abstract

This article has as main objective to analyze the legalization of abortion in Brazil from the "laicity" category, with data collected in the public hearing of the Federal Supreme Court about ADPF442. To do so, we start with a brief discussion about the legalization of abortion and the definitions of laicity. Following, the main arguments presented at the public hearing are analyzed. Finally, we discuss the possibilities of the "laicity" category for the debate on the decriminalization of abortion.
