Abstract

This article analyzes the dissenting opinion of Luis Roberto Barroso, judge of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil, on the Habeas Corpus 124.306 of Courtroom I of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil (29/11/2016). Barroso argues that penalizing the voluntary end of pregnancy, consented by the woman and practiced during the first three months of pregnancy, violates fundamental rights established by Brazilian Constitution and International Conventions of Human Rights. The paper maintained that this penalization not only harms the litigant, but also deepens the discredit of the justice system.
