The essay explores the interplay between neoliberalism and biopolitics through the lens of German abortion laws, specifically §§218 and 219. It begins by defining key concepts before examining how these philosophies influence abortion regulations in Germany. The analysis reveals that, despite their differing approaches—neoliberalism advocating for individual responsibility and biopolitics emphasizing state regulation—these frameworks can coexist and serve a common purpose within the context of abortion legislation. The conclusion highlights their complex relationship rather than a straightforward opposition.
