The motive behind Jovanovic's actions was reportedly her fear that motherhood would jeopardise her professional career as a lawyer for a prestigious car brand.

You're a fucking lawyer for a prestigious car brand. Surely hiring a god damn nanny was a better solution than child murder?

Jesus. I thought this was an onion article.

They don't have birth control in Germany?

They don't have adoption in Germany?

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

That too, but if I were this adamant about having kids, I'd make damn sure I don't have one in the first place.

We have both. And the possibility to leave the new born at a (I think mostly) hospital anonymously

I don't think this was a rational decision. She should and will face consequences, but I don't think she did it thinking straight.

So, I'm guessing abortion is banned or banned early in Germany?

It's complicated. Basically it's illegal, but there's exceptions. The one exception that makes this law very weak, is that it isn't illegal anymore if you got counseling at a place specialised for it.

Rape and medicinic reasons are also exceptions and counseling with the doctor is enough in that case.

It also has to happen in the first 90 days after getting pregnant.

She claims she didn't know she was pregnant.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Did she not know about adoption either?

[-] AGreenPurple@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

You also have the option to give up newborns at hospital sites anonymously and safely without any fear of persecution. I would have expected that you would know such a thing if you're smart enough to become a lawyer, this was anything but a rational decision.

People without kids are often discriminated against when it comes to raises and promotions. Maybe I should move to Germany. Or just grow a pair and lie, what's stable diffusion for anyway.

I'm surprised the FSB hasn't scouted her already
