The proposed law text is posted on the Vkontakte page of a church in Severodvinsk. Churches in Novodvinsk and Arkhangelsk are also collecting signatures aimed at the regional assembly to take action and adopt a new anti-abortion law.

It should not be allowed to propagate abortion, and it should not be allowed to assist with termination of pregnancy anywhere in the Arkhangelsk region, the proposed law text suggest.

In social media, the church has posted a banner of an unborn baby side-by-side with a young child dressed up in combat uniform:

"Protect me today, I can protect you tomorrow. Abortion is murder," the text reads.

Russia’s intensified campaigns against abortion follows Vladimir Putin’s decision to declare 2024 “the Year of the Family.”

The truth must have slipped through the cracks, they know that kids born today will be required on the front lines in about 5-8 years.

The western areas are, the eastern areas are not, in broad strokes.

They are only conscripting the undeveloped areas.

In undeveloped countries, children are free workforce, and birth control is not abundantly available.

I don't get the intention there. The article says itself that meat grinder means the same thing in terms of soldiers as it does in English. How did they think this is anything else than an insult?

My point is, give people a chance at beating the stereotype.

That’s good to know even if anecdotal. Damn shame. My brother was born in Kostroma. I can’t imagine getting out, choosing to indoctrinate myself, and then voting for the party that hates Ausländers. Thanks for sharing.

The ones I met were proud of hurting people at martial arts training in Thailand. Motherfucker, it's training!

The Russians I've met were good, honest, creative and friendly people. That said, all the Russians I've met have left Russia.

The Russians I've met don't want to improve the world, they want to drag everyone down to their level of misery.

Will this campaign also provide complimentary meat grinders to mothers?

Anyone who is or was a parent knows how much work it is to bring up even one human being to then throw away all this work for nothing, not very compelling. Rather would I spent my time at the beach.

Why would the picture on the right not be an adult?

That seems lile much better optics and propaganda.

So who are they planning to invade next ~18 years from now?

Orthodox Church at it. Again.

For context: unlike USSA, here in former USSR country banning abortions is VERY unpopular, I don't think any amount of yachts can achieve this. Their real goal seeme to be removal of abortion from goverment clinics.

Nah, they were doing long before.
