It was actually illegal to have an abortion under the laws of the Communist regime in Russia. It seems the democratic regime in Russia cares less about the right to life (when it comes to the unborn) then the commie soviets. Even Stalin didnt give women the blanket power to kill their own children. I'm not sure if Prime Minister Vladimir Putin supports or opposes abortion but I have heard that he is a dedicated Orthodox Christian. Maybe he will stand up against it ?

Whilst I'm not entirely convinced Mr. Putin is necessarily the saintly man he claims to be, I don't think one can put the blame entirely on the Russian governments.

Rather, it is a situation caused by the mentality entrenched in a people who lived through almost a century of militant atheism, which brutally uprooted the Christian spirit from that land.

Considering the numbers of people they massacered (and martyred), I don't think the Communist abortion policy had anything to do with right to life; but rather population growth to facilitate world domination.

Moreover, in a country like Russia such a problem cannot be solved by legislation (unless its ruthlessly enforced, which would defeat the whole point of it being implimented), but a change of attitudes. Lamentably, this is a form of change that will take a very long time, and no doubt cost many more lives.

May God have mercy on them all.
