ECountry country has classic literature shaping its culture recognition. The Germans have TextGoethe’s playing about successful but dissatisfied scientists Dr Heinrich Faust, making the Devil’s Agreement. Fails are made, referred to and read by schools for more than two centuries today. Interestingly, the most tragic nature of this tragedy is not the protagonist, but his “interests”, Greetchen – a teenage woman who is pleaded with older people, diminished and socially ostracated. His solution? He was weak in his “unrelenting” newborn child, accepted his death penalty and rejected Faust’s offer to save him from prison. In God’s mercy, the Christian girl sought safety and lost the cause of the devil to new adventures to Faust, about two.
What do Gretchen do now, I think. His fate is not only a result of sexual abuse and an instinctive misconduct, but also no rights of reproduction. In today’s Germany, abortion is still illegal under criminal code. It cannot be maintained under certain conditions, especially in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, but even, to practice a modern-day gretchen has a giving up on where he lives. In addition, Gretchen could be afraid of stigma, not only in society but included in German law.
For several decades today, the So called paragraph 218 Those criminal abortions are subject to political debate. Poland and the US live proof that, although not prosecuting anyone for carrying or taking an abortion is the accepted practice of power.
The last German government, under the Social Democratic Party’s (SPD) Olaf Scholz, seeking to change paragraph 218 before the power, but failed. Obviously, there is no expected German government, led by conservative Christian democratic union (CDU), which will make any progressive self-determination decisions. But what happened today in Bundesestag is more than preserving this pointless law – that should never fall into human rights rights standards.
After weeks of an orchestra encounter Social Media CampaignThe Bundestag election of three new judges in the Constitutional Court (Germany’s highest court) Unexpectedly canceled Last week. The Reason: One of the candidates, Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, a 54-year-old jurist and professor, accused of holding Extremist leftwing positions, because he supports decision-making.
Anyone who hears or reads Brosius-Gersdorf’s judicial argument It is known that he fully depends on the German constitution of his arguments and well weighing mother’s rights and embryos depending on the stage of pregnancy. In early, according to Brosius-Gersdorf, mother’s rights were preceded. In the later stage, when the embryo survives, the right of life’s embryo should be protected.
Claims that Brosius-Gersdorf in favor of abortions to the ninth month of pregnancy Blatant liespread over tributed media as well as far away alternatives for Germany (AFD) politicians.
The fact that Brosius-Gersdorf, which is selected by SPD, also argues for the AFD ban due to its cultivation in German intelligence as Enough extremists Perhaps is the real trigger for propaganda campaign against him.
Other accusations surround the jurist recommendation for compulsory immunization during the pandemic, and allegations that his thesis of PhD is planned (which is proved to be false). But not until the focus falls on his said radical views of abortion that succeeded in moving. Parts of the Governing MP – 50 to 60 Christian Democrat MP appointments in the constitutional court require a majority of parliyientary partly with a secret ballot.
Her critics are now expected in Brosius-Gersdorf, even if the SPD, Greens and Tefwing Party died Linke continued to hire his nomination.

Now, all of this can be very familiar with those who follow US culture wars in the last decade. Some commentators discuss “German political trumplication”, because the whole deble is based on fake news and slander. But stigma in abortion itself is not an imported event. It is part of German culture identity, maintained in Gretchen Tragedy, which never finished on the date.
Paragraph is 218, by the way, a relic from 1871 criminal code and almost as old faust. Gretchen will surely surprise that it is very little to change the body’s automobile access.
