Résumé anglais Nicole Gabriel, The 183 and the Stork Abortion legislation was the subject of intense controversy at the time of German reunification. For the first time, a matter of criminal law played a role in a matter of State. This article sums up how the legal situations and actual behaviour developed differently in the former GDR and FRG and analyses the decisive intervention made by women. The result of this mobilisation by women — a "reprieve" for the more liberal legislation of the former GDR until 1992 — denotes, above and beyond the general shift towards more conservative values all over Europe and in the United States, the persistance of a certain conception of the mother's social role in Germany and the preeminence of "private virtues" there, despite the socialist State's attempt to challenge that preeminence.
