In the lead-up to the February elections, 328 members of the Bundestag are pushing for a reform of Paragraph 218, which regulates abortions in Germany. The proposed changes aim to decriminalize abortions within the first twelve weeks of pregnancy and shift regulatory oversight to the ‘Schwangerschaftskonfliktgesetz.’ This reform is backed by SPD member Carmen Wegge and supported by an expert commission report. However, achieving a parliamentary majority remains uncertain, as some opposition from the Union and FDP persists.
