As the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church noted, the artificial termination of pregnancy “remains not only the so-called free medical care, but also a means of enrichment for private clinics.” Patriarch Kirill referred to the statistics and the arguments of experts on this. that commercial medicine often does not comply with those important “anti-abortion” restrictions that the State has adopted in recent years with the support of society and the Russian Orthodox Church.
“The time has come to legislatively remove abortions from the list of so-called services that allow businessmen to benefit from medicine in a woman’s grief,” said Patriarch Kirill.
At the same time, the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church noted that such a comprehensive revision of demographic policy is a condition for the survival of modern Russia.
