These data were supplemented with social media group postings of women with pregnancy conflict experiences. All data were analysed using content-structuring analysis according to Kuckartz.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Three women who had undergone an abortion and two pregnancy conflict counsellors were interviewed. In addition, 89 posts from a closed social media group were analysed. Three main categories were identified: women’s categorisation in value systems, factors influencing the experience of the care process and information needs of women facing conflict situations in connection with their pregnancy (“pregnancy conflict”). Abortion is considered to be stigmatised, so women rarely use existing counselling services. Overall, there is a high need for information and support among those seeking care. Concerns exist, especially with regard to the methods of abortion. The results of the study also indicate a burden caused by fragmented care, which requires a high degree of self-organisation of women.</div></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><div>The care situation in Germany does not meet the recommendations of the WHO guideline on safe abortion.
