“Being that Russia has the highest abortion rate in the world, it is hard to love Russia as the “Motherland.”
_______________________________
Russia, under Putin, has reduced abortion by 75%
In 2005, 1.6 million abortions were registered in Russia; 20% of these involved girls under the age of 18. Official statistics put the number of abortions at 450,000 in 2020. As of 2021, the abortion rate was 12 abortions per year per 1000 women aged 15–44 years.
I just took a look, and while the abortion rate is a little lower, it looks like it's dropped maybe 10 or 20% at the most.
Like China, Russia is concerned about their demographics. They STILL have the highest abortion rate in the world though, except maybe China during their one child policy.
