Orthodox Shift: Russia Tightens Abortion Access as Putin’s Influence Grows

The Russian government, influenced by President Vladimir Putin’s alliance with the Russian Orthodox Church, has been gradually restricting access to abortions, leading to a decrease in the number of procedures performed in the country. This aligns with the government’s efforts to promote “traditional values” and boost population growth. The restrictions include longer waiting periods, mandatory psychological consultations, and a recent decree that limits the circulation of abortion pills. These measures have sparked concerns about the erosion of abortion access and rights in Russia, similar to what has occurred in the United States.
