| Abortions were prohibited in Germany under Article 218 of the German Penal Code. (NO-5130, Pros. Ex. 466.) After the Nazis came to power this law was enforced with great severity. Abortions were also prohibited under the Polish Penal Code (Document NO-3089 (b), Prosecution Exhibit 468), and under the Soviet Penal Code. But protection of the law was denied to the unborn children of the Russian and Polish women in Nazi Germany. Abortions were encouraged and even forced on these women. | |
