Germany Changes Hitler's Law on Abortion

If such changes are adopted, gynecologists, hospitals, and other public health sectors will have the right to provide basic information about the country and the way women who are pregnant and do not want to bear children.

This legal amendment is expected to be approved by Angela Merkel's cabinet on February 6th and then be voted into parliament. The abortions in Germany are legalized, but the realization of this action is hindered in various ways, such as Article 219a, which entered into force in 1933 shortly after Adolf Hitler's coming to power.

Last year, a German gynecologist was sentenced to six thousand euros in fines because she had published records of abortion services on her website. This case had sparked a debate within the German government.

German Health Minister Jens Spahn has said that women should have access to basic data, but added that abortions should not be advertised, writes The Guardian”
