To this end, she is currently holding talks with Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ban on advertising abortions under Section 219a of the German Criminal Code was abolished only recently, at the instigation of the &#8220;traffic light&#8221; coalition. Paus further told the <em>Tagesspiegel<\/em>, &#8220;We must not stop there,&#8221; and stated that, on principle, she is open to having Paragraph 218 of the Criminal Code deleted as well. Abortions do not belong in the penal code, the family minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Article 2 of the German Basic Law grants every human being the right to life and physical integrity. According to the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/dipbt.bundestag.de\/doc\/btd\/19\/100\/1910036.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in the opinion of the former Federal Government<\/a>, unborn life is life within the meaning of Article 2(2) of the Basic Law. Accordingly, \u00a7 219a of the Criminal Code had previously prohibited the advertising of abortions, while \u00a7 218 of the same Code prohibited abortions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Are you interested in the pro-life and pro-family movement?
