LINK CHANGE/ M.PRESS/UPDATE 18 OCT/
The surprise twist in the heated presidential contest and abortion debate, that candidate Jose Serra's wife, psychologist and former dancer Chilean-born Mónica Allende had an abortion in the U.S., is being denied by Serra.
This possible tonic to Dilma's fading popularity over abortion is being compared by Serra's camp to a similiar false accusation against President Lula in 1989.
During a rally in Rio in September, Allende accused her husband's competition, Dilma Rousseff (pictured with Lula) of "wanting to kill babies" but some of her students have claimed that she admitted to them in 1992 of having an abortion.
( An obvious question--Why would she confess such a personal thing to a classroom full of students?).
But this heated campaign brought-up even more nastiness recently when a reporter asked Dilma if she was a lesbian. (See previous coverage for that story)
