Moscow, May 14, Interfax - The number of abortions dropped to about 450,000 in Russia in 2020, Russian Deputy Health Minister Oleg Salagai said.
"About 450,000 abortions were performed in 2020. About half of those numbers were performed at the women's initiative," Salagai said at a church congress on social service on Friday.
"This is almost 35% less than five years ago," he said.
More than 200,000 women received pre-abortion counseling, and about 49,000 of them had a change of heart last year, Salagai said.
The deputy minister said earlier that 523,000 abortions were performed in Russia in 2019.
I wonder what the “pre-abortion counseling” is? Is it a govt service, a church service, mandatory or not, etc? 49,000 lives saved, amazing. I wonder what the comparison is for the USA?
Good for Russia. They’re finding God again. Left and right.
Communism has come and gone there. Jesus Christ rules now
About half of those numbers were performed at the women’s initiative,”
And the other half?
