Number of German abortions plummets

The German federal coalition recently passed a proposal to delete the ban on abortion ads, the so-called article 219a, from the penal code. The Christian Democrats now proposed an alternative motion to prevent a complete abolishment of the article.

The German cabinet decided to remove the national ban on abortion advertisements from the penal code as described in article 219a.

A Polish woman who helped another woman with ending her pregnancy will be the first person to stand on trial under the new abortion law in Poland.
