[Legal protection of the fetus in West Germany].

No German legislation specifically addresses legal protection to the unborn child. Abortion which is synonymous with killing an unborn child remains a crime respective if prosecution is carried out or not. The German Supreme Court produced guidelines in 1975 concerning the unborn child's protection which indicate that the life of the unborn should be afforded the same legal protection as that of a living being. But jurisdiction, new legal drafts or the public debate alone are not able to reduce the number of abortions.

[RU 486--death hides behind this formula].

Today we are faced with a new abortion method: until the 49th day of pregnancy a pregnant woman will loose her child as a consequence of an artificial miscarriage by taking the hormone drug RU 486. It opens a new perspective as a new contraceptive method, an abortion method and a new possibility for family planning in Third World Countries. This pill has been developed and produced by the French chemical company Roussel-Uclaf and is available in France, Great Britain and China. Permission to operate on the German market hinges on 3 conditions: that there is new abortion legislation in Germany, the exclusion of misuse is guaranteed and a representative group requires the application.
