BRAZIL, December 11, 2010 ( Notifam ) - The Brazilian people overwhelmingly rejected the abortion and homosexuality agenda of the political party in power, as A new study conducted by the Vox Populi polling agency.
The survey reveals that 82% of Brazilians want to keep abortion a crime, and 72% are against decriminalization. Religious differences played only a marginal role, with 75% of evangelicals, 73% Catholic and 69% of other religions who oppose decriminalization.
addition, sixty percent of Brazilians are against the creation of "civil unions" for homosexuals, while only 35% are in favor.
The survey gives evidence that evangelicals Brazilian have more success communicating the condemnation of his church about homosexual unions, which Catholics. While only 19% of evangelicals supported such unions, 37% of practicing Catholics support them.
even a majority of the Brazilian non-religious, 56% oppose "civil unions" for homosexuals, according to a survey. However, members of non-Christian religions, which are usually associated with African-spiritualist cults were among those who, most likely, would support those civil unions, with 59% in favor.
The results can be characterized as a clash against the Workers Party, of a socialist who is in power, like their allies in Congress who seek to remove criminal penalties on abortion, and promote special rights for homosexuals. Books, television programs, and other forms of expression in condemning homosexuality, are subject to fines and other penalties in Brazil. President Luis Lula da Silva has labored in approving legislation stating that "homophobia is a crime.
During the last elections in Brazil, the President-elect, Mrs. Dilma Rousseff, was forced to promise in writing not to promote an agenda for abortion and homosexuality if elected, he saw that the polls placed it lost the election. This was due to massive criticism against him, caused by its previous positions regarding these issues.
Statistics also undermine the image of Brazil as a society of sexual libertinism, an idea that was popularized by the excesses during Carnival celebrations are held in major cities, which is the right time before the penitential season of Lent. In addition, Brazil has been the place where they carried out the largest gay stops in the world during the recent years, which have been partly financed and promoted by the federal government.
addition to the results on abortion and homosexuality, the survey indicates that a large majority of Brazilians, 87%, also oppose decriminalizing about controlled substances.
