1. Are they not already? I never knew that

2. >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.

   This reminds me of a different German political party. The name is on the tip of my tongue…

4. It should be more than 12 weeks. Sometimes you might not show symptoms until fairly late into the 12 weeks. Then you have to first make the decision. Then you have to find a doctor who is willing to do it, do the counseling, etc. and you ultimately might run out of time.

5. That just isn’t legally possible and according to BVerfG decisions it would violate the Art 1 GG right of the Nascriturus. The current solution was specifically developed to achieve a legal compromise and I can’t see it breaking either way.

6. How will they resolve this w/ the current BVerfG decisions regarding the right to live of the unborn child?
