Russia Announces Plan To Halve Abortion Rates To Spur Population Growth
Radio Free Europe ^ | 9/22/21 | RFE

MOSCOW -- Russia's government has approved measures aimed at halving the number of abortions carried out in the country before 2025, according to a document published on its website.

The plan is part of the government's latest long-term blueprint for improving the demographic situation in the country through 2025, amid a recently resumed decline in population growth after a decade of sluggish but stable increases.

The blueprint also sets forward plans for a significant reduction in infant and maternal mortality, and a rise in general reproductive health.

Well I am hardly a Ukie lover but the point needs to be made: more Russians to die in future wars. If your most precious resource is your population it sure seems like Russia is pissing it...or bleeding...it away cheaply. But that being said demographics is destiny so Russia making the right move while Ukraine endorses homosexuality.

“In his state-of-the-nation address in January 2020, he described Russia’s declining population as one of the country’s biggest problems.”

With one of the highest abortion rates in the world, men dying by the tens of thousands in Ukraine, and a life expectancy lower than Bangladesh, Russia’s population will continue to decline.

A 39% reduction in abortions is good going let us hope they make further, even greater, reductions. Western nations should follow this example.

"In March, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that the number of abortions in Russia had declined by 39 percent since 2016."

There’s a lot not to like about the Russian gov’t., but...

Everyone should appreciate the family-first measures there. And pushing back against all things tranny, LGBT, dozens of pronouns, etc.

And their sense of the sovereignty of the Russian state, as opposed to the move toward a one-world government, is to be emulated.

But I thought Russia was a perfect place. The model which all conservatives look up to. Or at least that is what the Putin fan club members say.

And now we learn that those supposedly totally Christian, upright, morally correct Russians have a high rate of choosing to kill their own children.

If you believe your own propaganda you must be either a fool or a Russian MOD employee.

The people posting on FR are not leftists. You might be, but they aren't.

After all the claims by you and your fellow Putin fan club members that Russia was so much more religious than the US, and lacking in the problems found in some parts of the USA, now we learn that abortion is common in Russia to such a degree that it is causing problems.

How does that align with your apparent view that Russia is a model for conservatives?

“Smoke is coming out of their ears.”

Yep, you can see their desire for GENOCIDE just in their postings above!

Kind of makes sense now as to why the Russians maintained the ability to blow us off the map, if needed.

Russia has been doing something about it and should be congratulated. Russia intends to promote family and reduce abortion further. What are Western nation doing? They appear to be promoting more abortion and anti family policies rather than less.

It’s funny, I don’t see their hero, President Biden, lifting a finger to try to cut down abortions in the US, nor them complaining about that. Kind of gives them away!!!
