The Legislative Assembly of the Trans-Baikal Region adopted a law prohibiting “the tendency of pregnant women to have an abortion.” Such actions will be considered an administrative violation and punishable by a fine.

What exactly can be considered a “tendency to abortion” is not specified in the law. Regional Health Minister Oksana Nemakina previously explained that most often we are talking about cases when one of the family members does not want the birth of a child and demands that the woman terminate the pregnancy.

Transbaikalia became the 13th Russian region to adopt a similar law. The introduction of such a ban was universally demanded by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.

  • Russian authorities are actively discussing measures to restrict women’s rights to abortion. The possibility of banning abortions in private clinics was discussed in the State Duma. Private clinics in Tatarstan, Kursk and Chelyabinsk regions and annexed Crimea have already refused to perform abortions.
