9520276 Comaroff A major issue in the reunification of Germany has been the conflict between the relatively liberal abortion law of the former East Germany and the relatively conservative abortion law and jurisprudence of the former West Germany. The conflict is complicated by the need to "come to terms with" the Nazi past and its disregard for human life. This research uses ethnographic methods to examine how this legal conflict over abortion is being worked out and mediated in practice. The co-P.I. will attend political meetings and judicial hearings concerned with shaping the law and conduct interviews with people directly involved in the law's formation. In addition, she will investigate--through interviews, document analysis, and participant observation--how the revised law's mandate of pre-abortion pregnancy counseling advising women of the illegal, though unpunishable, status of abortion is being implemented at pregnancy counseling clinics. This research should enhance our understanding of how law and practice are shaping an important issue in the democratic development of unified Germany. %%%% A major issue in the reunification of Germany has been the conflict between the relatively liberal abortion law of the former East Germany and the relatively conservative abortion law and jurisprudence of the former West Germany.

9520276 Comaroff德国统一过程中的一个主要问题是前东德相对自由的堕胎法与前西德相对保守的堕胎法和判例之间的冲突。 由于需要“接受”纳粹的过去及其对人类生命的漠视，这场冲突变得复杂起来。 本研究使用民族志的方法来研究这一关于堕胎的法律的冲突是如何在实践中被解决和调解的。 合作私家侦探。将出席与制定法律有关的政治会议和司法听证会，并与直接参与法律制定的人进行访谈。 此外，她将通过采访、文件分析和参与者观察来调查修订后的法律中关于堕胎前怀孕咨询的规定如何在怀孕咨询诊所实施，该法律要求妇女了解堕胎的非法性（尽管不受惩罚）。 这项研究应该加强我们对法律和实践如何塑造统一后的德国民主发展中的一个重要问题的理解。 %德国统一过程中的一个主要问题是，前东德德国相对自由的堕胎法与前西德德国相对保守的堕胎法和判例之间的冲突。本研究使用民族志的方法来研究这一关于堕胎的法律的冲突是如何在实践中被解决和调解的。 合作私家侦探。将出席与制定法律有关的政治会议和司法听证会，并与直接参与法律制定的人进行访谈。 此外，她将调查-通过访谈，文件分析和参与者观察-如何修订法律的堕胎前怀孕咨询的任务，建议妇女的非法，但不受惩罚，堕胎的地位正在实施怀孕咨询诊所。 这项研究应该增进我们对法律和实践如何塑造统一德国民主发展中的一个重要问题的理解。 ****
