However, if it would only look South, instead of East...Brazil's high court recently ruled that abortion for any reason violated its Constitution, which has an amendment that guarantees the right to life from conception to natural death. But then again, only a backwards, un-Enlightened developing nation (which runs 80% of its automobiles on ethenol produced from sugar) would have such a reactionary, Dark-Age provision in its constitution. And since Brazil has never flirted with socialist despots or communism, it cannot be used as precedent,for only progressive and enlightened nations embrace socialist despots and communism.
