Brazil: cost of decriminalized abortions 2016-2020, by type

Decriminalized abortions performed in Brazil from January 2016 to October 2020 cost the country's health system around two million Brazilian reals. The health expenditure caused by procedures following unsuccessful or incomplete abortions, on the other hand, amounted to 189 million reals in the same period. This means that for every 100 reals spent on abortion allowed by law, Brazil's health system bears the cost of 9,500 reals in post-procedures of abortions gone wrong. In Brazil, abortion is decriminalized in three cases: if the pregnancy is a result of rape, if performing an abortion is the only way to save the woman's life, or if the fetus suffers from anencephaly.

自2016年1月至2020年10月，巴西合法化的人工流产手术使该国卫生系统承担了约两百万巴西雷亚尔的费用。另一方面，在同一时期内，由不成功或不完整的人工流产手术引起的医疗支出高达一亿八千九百万雷亚尔。这意味着，对于每花费一百雷亚尔用于合法的人工流产，巴西的卫生系统需承担因手术失败或不顺利而产生的九万五千雷亚尔的成本。在巴西，有三种情况下可以合法进行人工流产：若怀孕是强奸的结果；若进行流产是挽救妇女生命的唯一途径；或若胎儿患有无脑症。
