Ministro Flávio Dino solicita informações ao STF sobre tramitação de votos em julgamento sobre aborto

O ministro Flávio Dino, do Supremo Tribunal Federal, solicitou formalmente informações à presidência da Corte para avaliar pedidos de anulação de votos proferidos em um julgamento sobre a descriminalização do aborto voluntário nas primeiras 12 semanas de gestação.

The request follows questions raised by legal and religious entities, which allege irregularities in the procedures adopted during a virtual session held in October 2025. The petitioners argue that the inclusion of the topic on the agenda and the voting method compromised the trial's impartiality.

The case dates back to 2025, when the process was brought to the virtual plenary. The central controversy involves the sequence of procedural acts and the validity of including votes after requests for referral to the in-person plenary, which raised questions regarding regulatory compliance.

Dino's decision aims to clarify the sequence of administrative and constitutional acts that led to the extraordinary session. The goal is to ensure that the analysis of the nullity allegations is based on solid legal grounds, ensuring the transparency of the procedural rite.

The debate involves different views on the rapporteur's autonomy and the operating rules of the virtual plenary. The Court must now provide the requested data so the rapporteur can decide on the continuity or review of the challenged votes.
