Self-incrimination[edit]
On 6 June 1971 the title of the Stern (magazine) showed 28 German actresses and jounalists confessing “We Had an Abortion!” wir haben abgetrieben! unleashing a campaign against the abortion ban. The journalist Alice Schwarzer had organized this following the French example Manifeste_des_343.

Later in 1974, Alice Schwarzer persuaded 329 doctors to admit in Der Spiegel publicly to having performed abortions and she found a woman willing to terminate her pregnancy on camera with vacuum aspiration, thereby promoting this method and show it on the German television news magazine Panorama. This was a new tactic: The ostentatious, publicly documented violation of a law that millions of women had broken thus far, only in secret and under undignified circumstances. Broadcasting freedom came under fire as never before.
