Opposition parliamentarians collected the 27 signatures needed to propose a plebiscite on abortion. As anticipated Westthe opposition wing articulates with the president of Congress, senator Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), a response to the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF).

On Tuesday 19, the president of the STF, minister Rosa Weber, scheduled for Friday the 22nd the trial of the action that deals with the decriminalization of abortion.

A plebiscite is a consultation carried out with the population to decide on the relevance of a constitutional, legislative or administrative matter. In this case, the consultation would ask whether society is for or against the decriminalization of abortion.

To call a plebiscite, it is necessary to publish a legislative decree, which needs the support of at least one third of the parliamentarians in the Senate.

After that, the proposal needs to be analyzed by the Chamber and Senate and obtain an absolute majority in each of them to be published.
