My Evaluation:
The article talks about when abortions are allowed in Germany and how the laws have changed over time, even during Nazi Germany. It also mentions recent changes to the law.
The article covers important parts of abortion laws in Germany but I think could include more details about how the laws affect different people.
The article gives information in honest way, like it focus on explaining the laws without taking sides.
Most facts are supported by citations, but adding more sources from trusted places could make the article stronger.
That being said, the article talks about abortion, but it could talk more about how the laws affect people who might have a harder time getting abortions.
