En Allemagne, l'avortement est autorisé jusqu'au premier trimestre. Mais il y a une restriction: une femme doit prendre conseil avant de pratiquer l'avortement. Le but du conseil, selon la loi Allemande, est de "protéger la vie pas encore née. Le conseil devrait encourager la femme à continuer sa grossesse, et devrait l'aider à voir les avantages à élever un enfant". Après le conseil, la femme doit observer une 'période de considération' de trois jours, pendant laquelle elle doit décider si elle souhaite ou non l'avortement. Si elle décide d'avorter, elle peut procéder aux démarches, et le conseiller la guidera généralement vers une clinique ou un hôpital. | En Allemagne, l'avortement est autorisé jusqu'au premier trimestre.

Before German reunification, West and East Germany had very different abortion policies. In East Germany, abortion was legal and common. Under the socialist government, abortion was seen as part of women's socio-economic equality. In West Germany, abortion was only permitted in certain scenarios, such as when there was a serious threat to the woman's life or child's health, or in instances of rape or incest. In some cases, women were allowed abortion due to extreme socio-economic distress, but this determination could not be done by the woman; it was decided upon by a third party. When the country was reunified, a new abortion policy needed to be made to accommodate the country. The compromise between the laws of East Germany and West Germany brought the abortion laws of Germany today. | Before German reunification, West and East Germany had very different abortion policies.

While Berlin is a generally progressive city, some patients have reported unfriendly treatment at certain facilities. So, as always, it's important to research in advance. There are some Catholic hospitals that refuse to prescribe the abortion pill, even though it is legal, as well. However, Berlin has the most abortions out of any city in Germany each year, and it is reportedly much more tolerant toward abortion than more conservative regions of the country, such as Bavaria. | |||
