German measles (rubella) during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, is dangerous as the virus can cross the placenta, causing severe birth defects known as Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS), leading to deafness, heart defects, cataracts, and intellectual disabilities, so prevention with the MMR vaccine before pregnancy is crucial, as the vaccine isn't given during pregnancy.

It's incongruous, isn't it? On the one hand, absolutely no abortions, including in the first trimester. Gotta protect those fetuses.

But on the other hand, deafness, heart defects, cataracts, and intellectual disabilities? Hell, yeah, those fetuses are on their own!
