%T The Debate over Reproductive Rights in Germany and Slovakia: Religious and Secular Voices, a Blurred Political Spectrum and Many Inconsistencies %A Petrjánošová, Magda %A Moulin-Doos, Claire %A Plichtová, Jana %J Politics in Central Europe %N 2 %P 61-78 %V 4 %D 2008 %K reproductive rights %= 2011-04-04T10:52:00Z %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-63207 %X In this paper we analyse the legislation and arguments concerning bioethics and reproductive rights (on the examples of abortion and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis – PGD), as well as the power of different actors’ voices in Slovakia and Germany. Our comparative analysis revealed a paradox: In the abortion case study we found a restrictive principle with a pragmatic/liberal application in Germany, and a liberal law with a restrictive application in Slovakia. In the PGD case study we found a liberal approach and dominating critical religious voices in Slovakia; and a restrictive approach and dominating critical secular voices in Germany. %C MISC %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
