“Russia’s ‘Year Of The Family’ Has Meant A War On Abortion And Divorce”
“women visiting medical clinics to get abortions now receive advice against it or find the procedure is repeatedly delayed under fabricated pretexts.”

“If it becomes law, couples would also be required to undergo “reeducation” in cases where they have underage children, or where one spouse wants to preserve the marriage while the other does not.”

The thing the simpletons miss when looking at bad stats is this. Stats are not a snapshot in time, they are also indicative of a pathway. Every measurable stat of life in Russia is a vast improvement from the 80s and the 90s where they had a horrifying depression.
Their trajectory is in the right direction.
On the other hand, our trajectory since the 80s and 90s is truly tragic and headed in the wrong direction regarding marriages, children, health, debt, you name it.
Russia’s debt to GDP is around 20%, ours is 124%. We are at risk of swapping places with the USSR era.
