Internet, abortion and religion alter the presidential elections in Brazil

abortion and religion may have triggered a second presidential round in Brazil.
public opinion polls consistently in recent months came Rousseff giving a victory of 51-59%. Rousseff is the candidate chosen by the popular socialist President Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva to replace him as president of Brazil. According to the Brazilian Constitution, a candidate wins when you get a 50% or more, but obviously failed the Rousseff absolute majority and will have to work harder in the second round.
Brazilian Major newspapers have attributed this result to abortion. The Folha de São Paulo reported that "Dilma lost votes among evangelical voters, while the State of São Paulo said that" something new began to take ", then detailed Rousseff, who wanted the liberalization of abortion laws in 2007, "had to leave the public arena now assert that it is against this practice and would not take any initiative propose legislation to legalize abortion. "
The State of São Paulo suggested that "the controversy surrounding the legalization of abortion could have had a greater weight to the reflux of voting intentions for Dilma.
In another article, entitled "Internet and religion may explain decline in PT (a member of the PT, Partido dos Trabalhadores), the same paper says that his fall was due, among other reasons," because Internet controversy about his views on abortion. "
Many websites in Brazil, including Pro-Family News (the Portuguese version of LifeSiteNews) and my blog, have been working to raise awareness among Brazilians about the issues of life. Brazilian election day October 3, revealed the results of that hard work.
In general, Brazilian voters are disillusioned with politics. Except for the issue of abortion, most Brazilians do not take seriously the election and any candidate can be elected. So much so, that was a clown vote en masse in Sao Paulo and, although he is illiterate, is a federal deputy in the National Congress!
Rousseff, which proclaimed Catholic and is the political heir of Lula received 46% of the vote. His main opponent, Jose Serra, a Catholic social democrat, was 32%, and the evangelical Marina Silva got a 19%. Marina, who for many years was a member of the PT, which now belongs to the Green Party has links with Al Gore, famous figure pro-abortion and pro-sodomy.
Lula said that for the first time in Brazilian history, all presidential candidates are socialists. However, he prefers Rousseff, who was a member of a group of communist guerrillas in the 1960 and all likely to be politically more aggressive to push the agenda of the PT.
Although none of them is a legitimate candidate for the family, pro-family leaders from Brazil prefer the "lesser evil." Probably worked. For two months, a YouTube video of a Baptist pastor Paschoal Piragine received nearly 3 million visits. The message it exposes pro-abortion policies and pro-homosexuality in the PT and encourages evangelicals to not vote for him.
For many months, the high popularity of Lula and several public opinion polls marked a sure win and easy to Dilma Rousseff. However, the runoff caused by the abortion issue now casts doubt on his victory.
