Entry into force and changes
The law came into force on August 5, 1992 under the name Law on Education, Contraception, Family Planning and Advice (AdviceG) . It only consisted of Sections 1 to 4 and was adopted as Article 1 of the Act on the Protection of Pre-Birth / Expectant Life, on the Promotion of a Child-Friendly Society, on Help in Conflicts of Pregnancy and on the Regulation of Abortion (Pregnancy and Family Aid Act - SchwFamG) from 27 July 1992 (Federal Law Gazette I p. 1398).
It was not until the Pregnancy and Family Assistance Amendment Act (SFHÄndG) of August 21, 1995 (Federal Law Gazette I p. 1050) that the heading of the Advisory Act was changed in Article 1 No. 1 to the Law on Avoiding and Managing Pregnancy Conflicts (Pregnancy Conflict Act - SchKG) . In addition, in Article 1 No. 2 it determined the previous Advisory Act to the new Section 1 of the amended Act and added the new Sections 2 to 4 with Sections 5 to 18 through Article 1 No. 7.
Further substantive and formal legal regulations were added as of December 15, 2010 to adjust the law. According to the law, a special allocation for disputes under public law is given by the social courts (Section 23 SchKG).
