No German legislation specifically addresses legal protection to the unborn child. Abortion which is synonymous with killing an unborn child remains a crime respective if prosecution is carried out or not. The German Supreme Court produced guidelines in 1975 concerning the unborn child's protection which indicate that the life of the unborn should be afforded the same legal protection as that of a living being. But jurisdiction, new legal drafts or the public debate alone are not able to reduce the number of abortions.
德国没有专门针对未出生胎儿法律保护的立法。堕胎，也就是杀害未出生胎儿，无论是否被起诉，仍然是一种犯罪行为。德国最高法院在1975年制定了关于保护未出生胎儿的指导方针，表明未出生胎儿的生命应享有与活人相同的法律保护。但是，仅靠司法管辖权、新的法律草案或公众辩论并不能减少堕胎数量。
