Sure, but either way, people are not voting against conservatives - whether that's because they sit out or are continuing to vote conservative seems rather trivia.

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.

It's so ridiculous, last year some politicians from the CSU visited De Santis. They regularly copy talking points from the US, which make absolutely no sense. They even tried the "drag queens are groomers" thing, but it didn't catch on. Next they'll probably try to ban books or some other bullshit like that.
