Anti-abortion protesters plan to protest in front of pregnancy counseling centers for 40 days. The Federal Minister for Family Affairs calls this a “border crossing” – and announces measures.
In view of announced protests by abortion opponents, Federal Family Minister Lisa Paus is calling for women to have free access to counseling services on abortion.
“Women must have unimpeded access to counseling centers and facilities that carry out abortions,” said the Greens politician to the editorial network Germany. She announced legal measures to ensure access.
Paus said: “Vigils in front of these facilities are border crossings and unacceptable interventions in women’s highly personal decisions. The federal government will counteract this with legal measures.”
Your company is working on a corresponding draft bill. There is a close exchange with the other departments concerned. “We propose an extension of the Pregnancy Conflict Act to expressly provide for unhindered access to the counseling centers by law.”
Abortion opponents have announced that they will protest in front of pregnancy counseling centers for 40 days starting Wednesday under the motto “40 days for life”.
