City Enacts Legislation Permitting Abortions Within Certain Limits
Let's talk about the latest scandal swirling around the Bryansk Regional Duma. They've gone and done it again, you say? Passed another bloody law, this time with a twist!
Yep, you got it! The Bryansk's legislative representatives have stirred up another hornet's nest by adopting a law in three readings that effectively bans the inducement of artificial pregnancy terminations within the region. How original, right? But wait, they didn't stop there.
Right, my friend! They've helped ensure the law comes into effect on September 1, and if that wasn't enough, they've also been working on a companion piece—another draft law imposing administrative liability for inducing artificial terminations. Let's see if that'll make folks think twice before considering that option.
*It's not unheard of, buddy. In fact, more than 15 regions have already taken similar steps to protect family, motherhood, fatherhood, and childhood. Think about it: Khakassia, Komi, Mordovia, Zabaykalsky and Primorsky Krais. And just last year in November, even Patriarch Kirill wanted to take it a step further, suggesting extending these regional laws to the federal level.
The move is seen as a part of a broader attempt to reduce the number of abortions in the country, which has been decreasing steadily since 2022. According to the Ministry of Health, the number of abortions dropped by almost 25,000 from 2023 to 2024.
As intriguing as it might sound, finding out the precise status of such laws across Russia can be a bit tricky. The best way to stay updated is to keep an eye on regional news or consult local legal resources.
Just remember, every decision has a ripple effect. Let's hope this one brings about positive change!
