In Brazil, the contemporary debate surrounding abortion and reproductive rights has positioned doctors as central actors, interlinking health care, law, and religious morality. These medical professionals are not merely providers of health care; they are active participants in a complex landscape that includes consultations, professional associations, public hearings, and transnational pro-life networks. Research indicates that the medical field plays a significant role in instituting barriers to legal abortion through conscientious objection, legal challenges, and the strategic use of biomedical discourse.

The establishment of the Brazilian Association of Catholic Doctors (ABMC) in 2021 marks a pivotal moment in this dynamic. Aligned with the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB), the ABMC enhances the role of physicians as moral agents in the defense of life from conception until natural death. In this context, documents such as the "Promise of the Catholic Doctor" reaffirm opposition to abortion and promote a binary sexual anthropology, effectively intertwining religious doctrine with professional ethics. This organizational framework provides a platform for medical professionals to advocate against practices that they deem contrary to their moral and ethical beliefs.

As Brazil grapples with ongoing debates about reproductive rights, the involvement of the medical community highlights the complexities of balancing individual rights with collective ethical standards. The actions of organizations like the ABMC and the rhetoric used by medical professionals suggest a movement that may continue to shape public policy and societal attitudes toward reproductive health, ultimately influencing the legal landscape surrounding abortion in Brazil. As these dynamics evolve, the interplay between medicine, law, and moral beliefs will remain at the forefront of discussions on health and rights in the country.
