It may be true that abortion has dropped sharply since the fall of the Soviet Union. But their abortion rate is still by far the highest in the world, in the country where you say more people poll as Christian than ever before. (more than the United States even)

"On a rather disquieting note, Russia saw more pregnancies end in abortion than live birth last year. There were 1,022 abortions per 1,000 births, according to state statistics. The runner-up, Romania, only performed 684 abortions per 1,000 births."

That's from Russia's official news agency.

I remember that in the mid-80s, the AVERAGE Russian woman had had seven abortions.

Your data is old.

The number of abortions has been cut in half again since 2008, while the number of live births is up 40%.

Russia has even prohibited abortion after 12 weeks.
