Please save yourself

The goal is to keep women from having abortions. “...In some cities there are so-called women’s priests. I thought: it would be nice to give a woman going for an abortion the opportunity to talk with a priest,” says Father Mikhail Zazvonov, head of the Orthodox Childhood and Obstetrics Center at the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. But if you put up a notice “On Fridays the priest will dissuade you from having an abortion,” then, of course, no one will come, the priest fears. Therefore, he proposed including a priest “on the commission that gives permission for abortion for social reasons.” Here again our fate is controlled by different “commissions”.
