Debate Intensifies Over Abortion Law Reform in Germany Ahead of Elections

A significant proposal to amend abortion laws in Germany is gaining traction as 327 members of the Bundestag support it. The initiative aims to legalize abortions up to 12 weeks, shifting them from the penal code to the Pregnancy Conflict Law. However, the reform faces obstacles, particularly from the Free Democratic Party (FDP) led by Marco Buschmann, who opposes rushed legislative processes on such complex issues, while the Union party shows disinterest in passing new laws before the upcoming elections.
