It's really a pity that even after selling tonnes of agricultural products, the farmers still remain so poor that they desperately NEED Special Financial-Assistance!

“There is real risk in the spread of information, which can put the lives of girls at risk,” said Brazil's Minister of Women, Family, and Human Rights, Damares Alves, in an opinion article published on October 2.
The “dangerous information” she is talking about are the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) for a safe abortion, laid out in a September 18 news story by AzMina Magazine.
To punish those who dare publish the health advice from the most important health organization in the world, Minister Alves has filed a complaint before prosecutors urging them to open a criminal investigation against AzMina.
Minister Alves claims that the article incites the commission of a crime, conduct punished with up to 6 months in prison under Brazilian law.
It does no such thing. Abortion is legal in Brazil in cases of rape, when necessary to save a woman's life, or when the fetus suffers from anencephaly–a fatal congenital brain disorder–, and that's exactly what AzMina's story explains.

REF: “Abortion is legal.........................AzMina's story explains”:

I'm sure that unwanted-pregnancies may be avoided altogether - instead of waiting till an abortion-stage - by Immediate-After-The-Rape-Treatments/Medications; maybe in many cases, if not all.

I'm sure that that what you state in no way refutes the Minister's false claim.
