"Touching" of family life
Political scientist Alexei Makarkin writes about the Mordovian anti -Armstone law:
“At first, this document was larger - in it in the territory of the republic it was forbidden not only to“ persuade ”to abortion, but also to“ promote ”it. And propaganda <...> - the concept is very broad. And it includes public recognition of one or another phenomenon by the norm, and not by deviation. <...>
However, the “propaganda” from the final version of the law disappeared, since it is classified as federal competence, and the “declension”, for which administrative responsibility has now been introduced, remains. And then a paradoxical situation arose <...>.
In the posttalin USSR, abortions were allowed and perceived in the context of the private life of citizens. <...> But propaganda was prohibited de facto-again, there was no legal ban, but the topic of abortion was taboo. But they promoted the birth rate and a happy childhood - however, such a positive did not affect the statistics of abortions.
<...> The majority of the population continues to consider abortions permissible and sphere of private life. And since they were legalized in the USSR <...>, the attitude towards them is different than to LGBT <...>. Therefore, the state belongs to the anti -scammers at the federal level very carefully - and the lobbying efforts of conservative organizations gave only a limited effect. But after breaking with the West, their lobbying potential has significantly grew - Mordovian law can be considered as a kind of trial ball.
But <...> there is an unexpected problem. Russian traditionalists warmly defend the inviolability of family life, including in the context of family violence. A child complaining to the state that his father hits him is a traitor to family values for them. But the girl who informs the state that her father strongly advises her to do an abortion <...>, from the point of view of the same traditionalists, acts quite correctly. Thus, inviolable is the “right” family living according to traditional values. ”
