Kristina Gisela Hänel (born August 5, 1956)[1] is a German general medicine and emergency physician. When practicing in Gießen, Hänel achieved national recognition because she was accused of advertising for the abortion of pregnancy and sentenced to a fine. She appealed, winning the appeal after a change in the Criminal Code made it possible for her to list abortions as a procedure she conducts on her website.[2]
