Guess the Russians have found their kindred spirits in American social conservatives. First homosexuals are perverted propagandists and now limiting early abortions is a matter of protecting women's health.
"President Dmitri A. Medvedev has signed into law the first steps intended to restrict abortion since the collapse of communism . . . The changes were passed by the upper house of Parliament this month as an amendment to the law governing advertising and were signed by Mr. Medvedev this week. A summary of the changes, which take effect within 30 days, was posted Thursday on the Kremlin’s Web site, which reproduces reams of documents on all of Mr. Medvedev’s legislative measures but highlights only some.
The summary on the Web site said the new law
“is directed on the whole towards protecting women’s health and makes it mandatory for advertising of medical services on the artificial termination of pregnancy to include warnings on the danger of this procedure for women’s health and the possible harmful consequences, including infertility.”
