Abortion is illegal in Brazil. And if there was ever a group you’d expect to be deathly opposed to abortion, it would be Brazilian *Baptists.* Well, guess what:

Baptists indicate support for abortion in Zika hit nations

In short, the rise of panic over the Zika virus, which seems to cause microcephaly in babies born to infected mothers, is causing some anti-abortion groups to consider supporting abortion.

Assume this actually happens: religious groups come to support abortion in the case of Zika. Well… microcephaly is hardly the worst thing that can medically befall a fetus (insert joke HERE about the career opportunities in politics and entertainment that are open to people with walnut-sized brains). So the field seems wide open for categories of “life unworthy of life” that can be supported by different groups.
