Hitler on Abortion

[minionofmidas]

When the Nazis came to power in 1933 one of the first acts Hitler did was to legalize abortion.

Unlikely.

In a sense... not in the sense the author wants you to take, though.

That would presumably be an alarmist guess at the number of illegal abortions being conducted, and not by medical practitioners either but by your local Engelmacherin.

Broadly correct.

Exactly. They considered the unborn as just as alive as the born.

1871 (to 1926) law: Maximum sentence five years. 1943 (to 1945) law: Automatic sentence: Death. This is for abortions of Aryan Germans, of course. The same law officially legalized abortions for jews and foreign slave workers. And even for German women raped by Slavic or Afro-American (but not White American or White British) allied soldiers.

And why are there so many laws to legalize abortion.

What? When? Where? What the hell are you trying to talk about?

Actually, yes it's EXACTLY that from 1927 (by court decision btw) to 1935, when it was abolished and abortion was once again illegal without exception (no, actually. Just without exceptions for the common populace. With exceptions where it was totally legal - mentally ill mothers, mothers with genetically transmittable diseases. This was the age of Eugenics, and not in Germany only.)

There was no law change addressing abortion in any way or form in Germany in 1933 to the best of my knowledge. If there was, it would have been an increase in penalty - there were several throughout the nazi era (eventually ending in the death penalty at the time nazi policy was entirely off its rocker even by its own prewar standards on every other issue as well), and I don't know the years.

Any idea what Hitler's stance on campaign finance reform, global warming and stem-cell research were?

I dont know that

Sort of true, actually. Not in the modern sense, of course. He was also a vegetarian.
