While Russia has historically had a liberal abortion policy — with the exception of the Stalin-era ban — the conservative turn among the country’s leadership, combined with a push from the Russian Orthodox Church, have put a target on the issue.

    From Wikipedia:

    “Russia has one of the world’s most female-biased sex ratios, with 0.859 males to every female”

    In a country with more woman than man, where even the most ugly gopnik will find a wife, because of the unbalance of genders, there might be man using this dominant role and having affairs with multiple woman. I am sure these man will see their life significantly shifted if abortions are banned and they are now fathers of multiple kids.

    But then again, it’s Russia, so nobody cares for the rules and abortions are only banned on paper as a virtual signaling to their GQP friends over the pond, but you will not find a doctor getting distracted by a written law in russia. The only rules that are constantly applied and used in court are the ones to oppress peoples voice to speak out.
