Russia to Increase Psychological, Social & Medical Help Available to Pregnant Women as Country Seeks to Reduce Abortions by 50%

The Russian authorities are developing plans to boost the quantity of social and psychological assistance available to pregnant women in an attempt to reduce the number of abortions, a cabinet office decree has revealed.

The decree text, published last week, names several possible ways to prevent pregnancy terminations, including medical and legal assistance to women in difficult life situations.

The government intends to increase the percentage of women receiving pre-abortion counseling to 80% by 2025, with the goal of reducing terminations by half.

The document also seeks to implement other measures to promote healthy lifestyles, increase the birth rate, and boost life expectancy.

Earlier this year, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova revealed that the number of abortions has dropped almost 40% since 2016, which she believes is mainly due to the work of counselors providing medical and social support for pregnant women.

My friends life in not as easy here as it once was. 2 incomes means 2 full time jobs. Grandparents are not there to help like they do in other(poorer) countries, A man gets money he wants to get married. A woman gets money she wants her freedom. One child she’s doing her part. 2 children she’s overwhelmed. Government could do a lot more but the welfare state gets in the way. No one has to put out.

Russia is also BUILDING churches and huge cathedrals at a time when Europe is converting them to mosques or government buildings.
