Senate Suspends Conanda Guidelines on Abortion for Minors

The immediate move removes national procedures that sped confidential abortion care for child victims and has prompted plans for constitutional challenges at the Supreme Federal Court.

Overview

  • The Federal Senate approved a Projeto de Decreto Legislativo that suspends Conanda’s Resolution 258/2024, a vote completed by symbolic ballot and put into effect without the president’s sanction.
  • The PDL was authored by deputy Chris Tonietto and reported in the Senate by senator Damares Alves, who argued the council exceeded its regulatory role when it issued the resolution.
  • Conanda and the Ministry of Human Rights called the decision a "grave retrocesso," saying the resolution had set procedures to speed and protect access to legal abortion for minors who are rape victims.
  • The Conanda rule had removed requirements such as a police report, judicial authorization, or mandatory notification to guardians in some cases and ordered fast, confidential care with legal accompaniment.
  • Legal experts expect an Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental or similar challenge at the STF and warn that practical access to services will now vary by local health managers and may become more bureaucratic for victims.
