The number of medical abortions in Russia has decreased by about 250,000 over the last five to seven years. Now about 400,000 such operations are performed annually. This was reported Monday at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) by Oleg Apolikhin, chief freelance specialist of the Ministry of Health of Russia.
"The number of abortions <...> our ministry has made significant progress in this. We have reduced the number of medical abortions by almost 250,000, or maybe even more, which we now have decreasing from year to year. Still, the number of medical abortions is somewhere in the range of 450 thousand, 420 thousand, 360 thousand - there are different statistics from Rosstat - it's a lot," he said at the session. "Promoting family health - a strategic factor of demographic growth: the best practices of the macro-region". He clarified that in the case of reducing the number of abortions, we are talking about the dynamics over the past five to seven years.
According to Apolikhin, women in Russia most often have abortions at the age of 25-39.
Beautiful. A nation returning to God just in time.
No further comment.
This is what made their invasion into Ukraine so shocking. I’ve known a big difference between Medvedev and Putin was abortion: Putin supports abortion, Medvedev would ban it.
To put this into context: during the Soviet era, Russians had 4 to 5.5 million abortions, so this is a 90% decline.
Their numbers are meaningless
Russia needs to ban abortion from conception forward.
Like China, Russia is going to eventually run out of workers because their birth rate is too low (-7% Growth rate).
At the begining of the invasion, one talking head said they were doing it for replacement workers.
in 2019, Russia lost net person every 30 seconds. Covid and migration outside of Russia did not improve the 2019 values at all.
Bleak.
They have fewer births as well now
Good for them. At least they have decided to reduce the number of baby murders.
Yes, but not 90% fewer
