The German Abortion Wars
The nomination of a Constitutional Court judge who stated a child does not have human dignity before birth has reignited the abortion debate.

The nomination of a Constitutional Court judge who stated a child does not have human dignity before birth has reignited the abortion debate.

Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf may have been the biggest advocate for banning the AfD, but her likely replacement will not be much better either.

Either option—electing judges with a simple majority or eliminating the plenary vote altogether—would open the door for abortion liberalization and experimenting with AfD bans.

The socialists insist on stacking the Constitutional Court with far Left judges, aiming to outlaw the AfD and greenlight abortion right up until birth—while pretending to out‑Christian the Catholic Church.

An accusation that a left-wing candidate plagiarised her doctoral dissertation pushed the Union to take the vote off the agenda.

The progressive law professor is backed by the CDU as well, despite some members expressing concerns about her push to legalize abortion up to birth.

The socialist law professor only regrets that banning AfD would not “eliminate” its supporters as well, but said they could still be “deprived of their fundamental rights.”
