on the debate about the compromise The governing coalition wants to give doctors legal certainty again through the "advertising" for abortions. The law will soon be discussed in the Bundestag.
The dispute between the coalition parties in the federal government over § 219 of the Criminal Code is to be settled with compromise: three ministries - health, family and justice - have agreed on one Bill agreed on the "Advertising ban on abortions".

This intensely negotiated compromise The state medical associations of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate welcomed the three ministries: This is how Dr. med. Edgar Pinkowski, President of the Hessian Medical Association: “The draft law creates legal certainty for doctors and clinics.” The three best-known gynecologists who are indicted under Section 219a have their practices in Hesse: Kristina Hänel from Gießen and Nora Szász and Natascha Nicklaus from Kassel . The trial against the gynecologists from Kassel is suspended. Hänel is still awaiting trial before the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court.
The draft, which was discussed in the Federal Cabinet at the beginning of February, provides that the German Medical Association (BÄK) keep list of doctors and hospitals and Institutions can voluntarily register if they undertake abortions. This list should also contain information on the respective methods. It should be updated monthly and published on the Internet.

The data will also be passed on to the Federal Center for Health Education (BzgA). In the future, doctors should also be able to refer to them via link from their homepage if they want to provide information on the methods of termination.

Frank Ulrich Montgomery on the draft that has now been submitted. In the corresponding key issues paper from December 2018, it was still mentioned that the quality of medical care should be guaranteed in the event of abortions and that there should be “a further development of qualification”. Nothing of this can be found in the current draft. In addition, the draft law canceled the idea of commissioning study on the psychological consequences of abortion. According to the Federal Family Minister Franziska Giffey (SPD) in the talk show Anne Will from the beginning of February, the SPD insisted that this study not become part of the law. However, these studies are already available. Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) had announced that he wanted to commission such study. Several SPD politicians criticized this project as "madness". The opposition rejects this study and the coalition's proposal as whole. Rebecca Beerheide
