Vladimir Putin, Russian President has approved a new law banning abortion advertisement on Monday. Activists are calling this act as an infringement on women rights.
A women activist Olgerta Kharitonova said the ban “is not the beginning of the restriction of women’s (reproductive) rights, but rather the continuation of a process begun in 2011.”
She was denoting to law that disallowed abortions after 12th week of pregnancy.
A new proposal given to lawmakers would also exclude abortion coverage by health insurance in Russia.
It was Putin’s top priority to stop population in Russia during his 14 years in power. But now he has changed his policy. He is now praising traditional values and appreciating Russian Orthodox Chruch.
Russia was one of the countries where abortion rates were very high. But that number has decreased due to various methods of birth control available.
In 2011, the Federal Statistics Agency facts show that there were 1.8 million births and 1.1 million abortions in Russia.
