Like in France, the left demands the right to abortion in the Basic Law. France is the first country in the world to enshrine the right in its constitution.
The Left Chairwoman wants Germany to follow suit. Only in this way “the right would be protected from attacks by right-wing forces,” said Janine Wissler. The demand is also with a view to the upcoming state elections in Brandenburg, Thuringia and Saxony, in which the AfD is expected to achieve good results.
