Resumo: Abortion is a complex philosophical and moral issue treated as a morality policy in the public sphere. This article aims to analyze the dynamics of shaping the abortion political agenda in the Brazilian Senate, based on the punctuated equilibrium theory. Adopting the approach by Baumgartner and Jones (1993), the study explores the attention and image given to abortion between 1988 and October 2020 to understand which factors affect the policy’s agenda-setting. Documentary research and content analysis were used to examine 33 legislative propositions, 295 pronouncements, and six public hearings, classifying the policy image as neutral, pro-choice, or pro-life. The results reveal coexisting images in the arguments and preferences of senators, political parties, and participants in public hearings (both internal and external to the government). There is a trend towards stability in the Senate with a predominance of pro-life positions. However, at the same time that policy image of abortion as a crime were present in focalizing events such as public hearings, new images for framing the issue could be observed and have been discussed, addressing abortion as a public health issue and as a right. In addition, senators and external actors point to the Brazilian Supreme Court as a forum that can push for changes in the abortion legislation, such as in the example of the Claim of Non-compliance with Fundamental Precept 54 (ADPF 54) (STF, 2013) and ADPF 442 (STF, 2017), the latter is still in discussion in the court. Future studies on this agenda’s dynamics should address the discussions under development in the Brazilian Supreme Court.

Este artículo busca analizar la dinámica de la agenda política del aborto en el Senado Federal brasileño, a partir del enfoque de la teoría del equilibrio puntuado. Basándose en el enfoque de Baumgartner y Jones (1993), este artículo analiza la atención y la imagen que se ha dado al aborto entre 1988 y octubre de 2020, con el objetivo de entender qué factores interfieren en la formación de la agenda. Mediante la investigación documental y el análisis de contenidos, se analizaron 33 propuestas legislativas, 295 pronunciamientos y seis audiencias públicas, clasificando la imagen de la política presente en estos elementos según el tono “neutro”, “favorable” o “contrario” al aborto. Los resultados revelan la coexistencia de imágenes de la cuestión basadas en argumentos y preferencias de senadores, partidos políticos y participantes en audiencias, tanto internos como externos al gobierno. Existe una tendencia a la estabilidad en el Senado con un predominio del tono contrario al aborto, pero se discuten nuevas imágenes para enmarcar el tema, posicionando el aborto como una cuestión de salud pública y como un derecho, simultáneamente a su comprensión como delito, algo también presente en eventos focales como las audiencias públicas. Además, senadores y actores externos señalan al Supremo Tribunal Federal como un foro que añade cambios a la legislación sobre el aborto, como ejemplifican el ADPF 54 (STF, 2013) y el APFF 442 (STF, 2017), aún en abierto. Se sugiere que futuros estudios aborden la dinámica de la agenda del Supremo Tribunal.O tema do aborto é uma complexa questão filosófica e moral, que, na análise de políticas públicas, tem sido tratado como uma política de moralidade.
