I was in the library and glanced over and seen this book called The Encyclopedia of the Third Reich. Giant book. Page 1...
Abortion, criminal offense whose penalty (Criminal Code Chap 218) was made harsher during the Third Reich because abortion was said to offend the "German Volk's will to life and future." Exceptional permission for an abortion was granted only through the Law to Prevent HEREDITARY ILL OFFSPRING (Gesertz zur Verhutung erbkranken Nachwuchses). Propoganda was directed above all against indiviualistic motives for abortion; the "duty of the Volk" had precedence over the "right to one's own body." The awakening of the "will for a child" was to be the primary goal of all POPULATION POLICY.
