Brazilian super model Fernanda Tavares criticized the statements of her colleague and personal friend, Gisele Bundchen, who recently came out publicly in support of abortion and criticized the Catholic Church for its position on the right to life.
Tavares, who is not known to be very religious and is involved in an extramarital affair with Brazilian actor Murilo Rosa, said she was “disgusted” by her friend Gisele because of her statements in support of abortion, especially because of her comment that “at four months practically nothing exists” in the womb of the mother.
Tavares, who is expecting a child from her relationship with Rosa, told the Brazilian daily “Folha de Sao Paulo,” “At one month the baby’s heartbeat can be heard.” “It’s absurd for any woman, no matter how independent she is, to defend abortion,” Tavares said. “We’re talking about another life,” she added. She said she plans to marry Rosa in October after their baby is born.
