People seem to have issues understanding the texts of laws.

It’s only illegal if these 3 things aren’t met.

1. You got a counseling prior
2. It’s done by a physician
3. It happens until week 12 after conception

I don’t think these things are unreasonable at all

I went in to read the German law itself and it’s basically only illegal if certain conditions aren’t met and that is getting a counseling beforehand.

I think that’s a bit of a far stretch and misleading to say it’s illegal but rarely punished etc.

Also the headline is completely wrong, as it is already allowed to get an abortion up to week 12.

Here is the part of the legal text defining the requirements.

Section 218a Exemption from punishment for abortion

(1) The elements of the offence under section 218 are not deemed fulfilled if

1.  the pregnant woman requests the termination of pregnancy and demonstrates to the physician by producing the certificate referred to in section 219 (2) sentence 2 that she obtained counselling at least three days prior to the procedure,

2.  the termination is performed by a physician and

3.  no more than 12 weeks have elapsed since conception.

While I did misunderstood the goal of your comment, sry for that, it still holds some truth and might be applied concept wise to what you meant.

Refusing to pay taxes is, as much as refusing to vote politically, a refuse to participate. Why should someone get a say in something that they refuse to be a part of?

We are on the same side, even if it’s not directly obvious. You showed that with you second point. By voting with you wallet for corporations that fulfill your values, you choose to give them more power over other corporations that don’t.

The same concept applies to voting politically. You give your vote to a party that fulfills your values over a party that doesn’t.

I the real world not paying taxes is not an option, as much as it’s not an option to not spend any money on any corporation, if your part of the society. We are able to choose in a given context, that for sure has its limitations.

Let’s say your not happy with the possible options that you can vote for, be it a financial or a political vote, you are free to fill the niche you think is missing. Start being active politically or economically and if there are more people that think like you and act according to this, things can change.

But if nobody does this, things will definitely move in the direction of the values from people that do the things above.

There is the famous phrase. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Great example how to not solve anything.

Stay delusional my friend

For whoever thinks not voting will be any form of good decision. Ask yourself this question.

How can someone distinguish a not vote because your fine with how things are from a not vote out of protest?

Thank you! It’s so refreshing to see someone actually taking action and doing something.

That constant stream of fingerpointing with the expectation that others need to do it, is just the prime form of entitlement.

I hope people follow your role model and start really doing something!
