Information on Abortion and Contraception

For a long time, doctors who provide abortion care were prohibited from providing information about the various methods, procedures and side effects of abortion due to Section 219a of the German Criminal Code (StGB). At the same time, there are many supposedly reputable and neutral websites on the internet that try to dissuade people with unwanted pregnancies from having an abortion by providing fear-mongering and medically incorrect information.

In order to counteract this lack of medically correct information, we provide helpful information on contraception and abortion on this website. We also encourage doctors of all specialities – including those who do not perform abortions themselves – to provide information on abortion on their practice website following the abolition of §219a StGB.
