Herdprämie.
The constitutional court axed the whole thing because it's outside of the jurisdiction of the federation, Bavaria, and only Bavaria then went ahead and made it state law. They also consistently score worst when it comes to access to abortions.
That's the CSU though, the CDU had lots of high-ranking women at that time which explains why they weren't pushing things into that direction. And the whole republic ridiculed vdL for trying to get rid of Vatertag, rightly so.
Yeah, I remember that, but I wouldn't call that worsening women's rights, it was something completely optional and if at all only highlighted existing sexism. It was more or less a susidy for families that didn't sent their kids to kindergarten, the law didn't state which parent had to take care of the children or anything like that. There was criticism that children wouldn't grow up around other children and that it would hold women back in their careers because it would most likely be the mother who stays at home, but that's not the fault of the law. And similar programs exist in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and generally people consider those countries as progressive.
Regarding abortions one law making it hard to access was the ridiculous § 219a StGB and that was abolished in 2022. The other problem is that doctors can't be forced to perform abortions. The problem in general here is religious groups.
