ADPF 442

Rosa Weber Justices ADPF 442 is an ongoing case of the Supreme Court of Brazil concerning the decriminalization of abortion, in any circumstance, up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.

[a] A positive result in this case would bring Brazilian legislation closer to some of its Latin American neighbors, such as Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Guyana, Mexico and Uruguay.

[1] As president, Weber brought the case for deliberation and,[2] as rapporteur, cast the initial, 129-page vote on 22 September 2023 during a virtual session.

Weber went on to retire on 30 September 2023, leaving the presidency of the court to minister Luís Roberto Barroso.

[5] Flávio Dino, Weber's successor to the court set to take office on 22 February 2024,[6] will likely not be able to recast a vote in this case.
