President Vladimir Putin, at the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects, noted that the situation in the field of fertility in Russia “remains difficult”, “fewer children are being born than a year ago,” recalled Lukyanov.
“The president spoke of the need for a turning point, that is, an effective and real improvement of the demographic situation. This is impossible without decisive measures, legislative restrictions on abortion, because preventive measures have been largely exhausted,” RIA Novosti Novosti quotes the cleric.
According to the priest, it is necessary to strengthen state control over abortions and remove them from the sphere of private medicine. Private clinics should be banned from performing abortions, Lukyanov said. Furthermore, in his opinion, abortions without medical indications should be removed from the CHI system.
“Abortion, according to the immutable position of the Church, is always infanticide,” the priest emphasized.
