Federal Family Minister Lisa Paus has announced a bill to give pregnant women seeking abortions unhindered access to counseling centers and facilities that perform abortions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, 40 Days for Life has so far been successful in overturning bans on prayer vigils imposed through decrees by individual municipalities, thanks to legal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law does not allow patronizing counseling for pregnant women, and according to the ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court, the embryo also has dignity and a right to life from the moment of its conception. A &#8220;right to abortion&#8221;, which cannot exist anyway, would be incompatible with the Basic Law. Although abortion advocates argue that pregnant women make an autonomous and self-determined decision to have a prenatal infanticide after careful consideration of all the circumstances, a legal ban on prayer vigils would refute one of their most important narratives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>40 days for life targeted by the government: Prayer is
