While abortion is rarely punished, it remains illegal in Germany, except for specific circumstances including when a woman\u2019s life is in danger, or she is a victim of rape, while the prerequisite for any termination is a consultation with a state-recognised body.<\/p>\n<p>Advocates of a law change have welcomed the investigation into the country\u2019s legal framework, calling the law outdated and detrimental to women. Even in the cases not considered illegal, the procedure must take place within the first three months, except when there is a compelling reason to carry it out later. The all-female expert commission on reproductive self-determination and reproductive medicine was set up by Chancellor Olaf Scholz\u2019s three-party government after the desire to change the 153-year-old law was anchored in its coalition agreement.<\/p>\n<p>However, opposition lawmakers, in particular from the conservative Christian Democratic Union\/Christian Social Union alliance and the far-right Alternative f\u00fcr Deutschland, say as it stands the existing law enjoys broad acceptance and offers necessary protection to the unborn. They argue that despite being illegal, abortions are accessible and it is extremely rare for them to lead to prosecutions. If the recommendations are acted upon, they have said they will turn to the constitutional court.<\/p>\n<p>The AfD argues for a tightening of the existing law, saying too many abortions now take place. One of its arguments is that Germany would need fewer migrants if the birthrate was higher. The report is expected to emphasise how Germany\u2019s existing law is not compatible with international standards and needs to be modernised. Leaked to some German media last week, the report includes the recommendation that by effectively criminalising any woman who goes ahead with an abortion, the law is untenable. \u201cThe fundamental illegality of abortion in the early stages of pregnancy is not sustainable,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/apr\/15\/abortions-in-first-12-weeks-should-be-legalised-in-germany-commission-expected-to-say\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/apr\/15\/abortions-in-first-12-weeks-should-be-legalised-in-germany-commission-expected-to-say\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/abortions-in-first-12-weeks-should-be-legalised-in-germany-commission-expected-to-say\/\">Abortions in first 12 weeks should be legalised in Germany, commission expected to say<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2401,1038,2036,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-129647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-abortion","tag-germany","tag-legal","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129647\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
