Pro-life leaders in Brazil have denounced the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for using standardized testing in schools as "an instrument for imposing ideology" in order to make young people see abortion as "a necessary issue."
Rodrigo Pedroso of the Commission on the Defense of the Republic and Democracy of the Order of Lawyers of Brazil said the government is using standardized testing to make students see "abortion as a necessary issue" and is penalizing students if they fail to answer the question with this answer.
"The government doesn’t lose any opportunity to promote abortion," he said.
