The Abortion Law has been discussed far and wide. I tend to lean on the side that says that the Abortion Law in the Draft is loosely wrapped.
It should be more tightly written. For example, here below is part of the English Translation of §218 ff., published by the Federal Ministry of Justice in cooperation with a federally-controlled commercial legal information provider.
"(2) The termination of pregnancy performed by a physician with the consent of the pregnant woman shall not be unlawful if, considering the present and future living conditions of the pregnant woman, the termination of the pregnancy is medically necessary to avert a danger to the life or the danger of grave injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman and if the danger cannot reasonably be averted in another way from her point of view."

IMHO, that is the way it should be written. And then we shall have less noise about it.
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.
