According to the priest, Russia lacks laws protecting women from "reproductive coercion aimed at forcing an abortion."В His proposal to introduce a law banning the "encouragement"В of abortions in Orenburg Oblast was supported by Governor Denis Pasler.

"A woman’s decision to terminate a pregnancy is not always driven by her unpreparedness for motherhood. Often, this tragic decision is made under pressure from doctors, employers, and even relatives," said Metropolitan Peter.

How Russian authorities began exerting pressure on women’s reproductive rights — and how the war has exacerbated the situation

In late November, the Kurgan Oblast Duma introduced fines for "encouraging abortions"В at the request of the local branch of the Union of Orthodox Women, which justified the measure as a response to the "hybrid war against Russia."

Similar laws have been adopted in at least 14 regions of Russia. Currently, the introduction of fines for "encouraging"В abortions is being considered in Astrakhan and Kirov Oblasts, as well as Krasnoyarsk Krai.
