This recommendation will align Germany's abortion laws with international standards and its European peers. Although abortion is rarely prosecuted in the country, the current rules could easily allow future governments to issue punishments for those who seek out the procedure. Changing the law will protect women's human rights now and in the future.
The current law allows enough protection for women seeking abortions in Germany. It would be unnecessary for the law to be changed. The commission likely had a strong liberal bias when they made this recommendation, and many ethical and legal considerations must be examined with this issue.
