A left-wing initiative has been launched to decriminalize abortion in the early stages of pregnancy.

Polls show public support for decriminalization, but conservative lawmakers are opposed.

Germany has one of the most restrictive laws regarding abortions in Europe .

Since the 1990s women have been permitted to have them within the first three months of pregnancy without risk of prosecution.

ProFamilia vice-chair Stephanie Schlitt sees "historic window of opportunity" If proposal is put to parliament, the vote will be an open one.

It might see the CDU/CSU and the AfD voting together to oppose it.

The CDU has previously refused to cooperate with the anti-feminist AfD.
