Zusammenfassung
Wherever pregnancies occur, they are also terminated. Abortion has always been the subject of controversial discussions in society, depending on the medical status of pregnancy determination, the legal and social position of women and the determining values in society, including the protection of unborn, prenatal or future life, which is disputed in this respect. In German law, the termination of a pregnancy is still generally prohibited, Section 218 German Criminal Code (StGB1), but is not prosecuted under penalty up to the 12th week of pregnancy if a compulsory counselling procedure is followed (Section 219StGB) (Section 218a para. 1 StGB) and is permitted up to birth in cases of medical-social conflict, and up to the 12th week in cases of criminological conflict (Section 218a para. 2 and para. 3 StGB). Until 2022, a ban on advertising (Section 219a StGB, old version) safeguarded the protection of life guaranteed by the Basic Law. Criticism of this German regulatory compromise is that the number of abortions without punishment after compulsory counselling in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy remains high at an average of 100,000 abortions per year and displaces the basic punishability to the point of non-ex-istence.
Zusammenfassung in einer weiteren Sprache
Ahol terhesség van, ott van abortusz is. Az abortusz mindig is viták tárgya minden társadalomban, függően a terhesség megállapításának orvosi státuszától, a nők jogi és társadalmi helyzetétől és a társadalom meghatározó értékeitől, beleértve a meg nem született, a születés előtti vagy a jövőbeli élet védelmét. A német jogban a terhesség megszakítása továbbra is általánosan tilalmazott, a német büntető törvénykönyv (StGB ) 218. §-a szerint, igaz, a terhesség 12. hetéig nem büntethető, ha kötelező tanácsadási eljárást követően történik a beavatkozás (StGB 219. §, (218a. §), ezen túlmenően pedig az egészségügyi indikáció esetén a születésig, büntetőjogi indikáció esetén pedig a 12. hétig megengedett (StGB 218a.§ (2) és (3) bek.).
