Since 1933, women in Germany with unplanned pregnancies have been denied access to sound information about abortion. Paragraph 219a prohibited doctors who perform abortions, from providing public information about safe methods and risks. The absurdity: nobody else was prohibited from doing so. Therefore, we beat the law by exploiting its own loophole. We involved people outside the medical field to become ambassadors for our campaign and encouraged others to spread important information about safe abortion methods. Through a landing page and social media, it was possible to share it further. In the end, we not only sparked a nation-wide political discourse on the subject, but also achieved the greatest possible result: Paragraph 219a will be removed from the penal code by the German federal government in 2022.
