| Zusammenfassung: | Discusses Pope John Paul II's 1997 visit to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in relation to its impact on the abortion issue, specifically, as it coincided with the National Congress's floor debate on the overturning of a 1940 penal code making certain abortions a criminal act. The pope & the Catholic Church's firm stance against abortion is examined in terms of Catholicism's moral domain over a Brazilian society that is culturally & religiously diverse. Also considered are the roles of various national & international health & population control organizations & the implications of surveys revealing that 74% of Brazil's Catholics favor abortion rights.
