The Moscow Patriarchate supports the initiative of public activists to install a monument to pregnant women in Moscow, and is calling on them to extend the project to other cities and regions, given the difficult demographic situation in Russia.
The head of the Save Life charity project for women in crisis pregnancies, Ekaterina Markova, earlier appealed to Moscow authorities to erect a statue of a pregnant woman in an effort to form a more positive image of pregnancy and childbirth. The authors of the initiative note that the birth rate in Russia is falling, due in part to the degradation of the family institution, reports RIA-Novosti.
“Such monuments are needed in every city. There is a shortage of social advertising in support of the institution of the family in the country today,” commented Maria Studenikina, the head of the abortion prevention division of the Synodal Department for Charity and director of the Orthodox Home for Mothers crisis centers.
According to Studenikina, negative attitudes towards motherhood and family values are actively being spread in social networks, “and as a result, many refuse to start a family had have children.”
“In this situation, the birth rate will only decrease. Social support measures for families and measures to maintain a positive attitude towards childbearing in society should go side by side. This will allow us to effectively solve demographic problems,” said the representative of the Synodal department.

Sobering reminder of why we cannot let Soviet Marxist feminists rule the day. Generations after will be paying for it!

I think this is a good idea. A very basic public gesture to honor and promote respect for motherhood and an intact family. Am i missing something wrong and alarming?
From what I’ve read, 140 days paid maternity leave, baby $$$, mortgage help, employment protection for working Moms sounds very evil. /S

It is such a basic human endeavor. Years ago I saw an anthropological documentary on TV about a jungle-dwelling, tribe in a rainforest of South America. They were naked except for rudimentary genital covers, and lived in grass tents. One scene was striking: a young father took a bunch of small kids, males and females, down to a stream, where he showed them how to make doll babies out of wet clay. Smiling and patting the kids, he modeled for them how to cuddle and rock their wet mud “babies.” This non-literate Indian tribe had a positive, natural understanding of their own survival.
