Brazil's silent abortion dilemma
The risks faced by Brazilian women seeking an abortion has been highlighted by the brutal death of a 27-year-old woman.
Abortion is only legal under the most exceptional circumstances in Brazil - a traditionally Catholic country.
A recent poll suggested around 79% of the population opposed legalisation but figures suggest that one in five women in the country have had an abortion by the age of 40.
