Abortion in Russia became legal shortly after the Bolshevik took power. That's way back in 1920. It going to take time for Russians to again acknowledge that abortion is murder.

From Wiki:

Prior to the October Revolution of 1917, Russian law considered abortion to be homicide, and it was punishable by a 4 to 5 year jail term with the loss of civil rights. The punishment was reduced to 3 years in 1903. From then on, support grew for eliminating the punishment of women who had abortions, and for punishing only doctors. However, the old law effectively remained in force until November 18, 1920, when the Bolshevik government issued a Decree on Women’s Healthcare, which provided for free and on demand abortions for the first time in the world. The legalization reduced the mortality rate of abortions from 4% to 0.28%. [3]
