Women living in Russia do two or three times more abortions

In 2007, 1,582,000 abortions were performed in the Russian Federation (40.3 abortions per 1,000 women). In Western countries, such an indicator is an average of 15 abortions per 1,000 women. But in our country there is a good tendency for abortions to be made less-in 2002 they were 2138 thousand (54.2 per 1,000 women). As already informed, the State Duma introduced a draft on various kinds of restriction of advertising for abortion. stressed the head of the Duma committee on health Olga Borzova, this ban can be considered as an element of the introduction of a healthy lifestyle. For example, the changes introduced are similar to those that already exist with regard to advertising tobacco and beer alcohol. She also announced that, according to the bill, the promotion of abortion should not appeal to under-age adults.
