A petition initiated by the orthodox church calls on regional deputies to adopt a law to ban “inducement to abortion' in the Arkhangelsk Oblast.
The proposed law text is posted on the Vkontakte page of a church in Severodvinsk. Churches in Novodvinsk and Arkhangelsk are also collecting signatures aimed at the regional assembly to take action and adopt a new anti-abortion law.
It should not be allowed to propagate abortion, and it should not be allowed to assist with termination of pregnancy anywhere in the Arkhangelsk region, the proposed law text suggest.
In social media, the church has posted a banner of an unborn baby side-by-side with a young child dressed up in combat uniform:
"Protect me today, I can protect you tomorrow. Abortion is murder," the text reads.
Russia’s intensified campaigns against abortion follows Vladimir Putin’s decision to declare 2024 “the Year of the Family.”
I don't get the intention there. The article says itself that meat grinder means the same thing in terms of soldiers as it does in English. How did they think this is anything else than an insult?
That’s good to know even if anecdotal. Damn shame. My brother was born in Kostroma. I can’t imagine getting out, choosing to indoctrinate myself, and then voting for the party that hates Ausländers. Thanks for sharing.
