Abortion is the induced termination of a pregnancy often causing fetal pain.[1] Abortion has two victims: the unborn child, and the mother who can never forget the loss she caused. Breast cancer rates increase by more than six times for women who have abortion. Additional victims of abortion include after-born children, who have a higher rate of premature birth and birth defects due to the harm caused by a prior abortion.

Russia and abortion law
See also: Russia's fertility rate
In 2015, Russia's Ministry of Health signed an agreement with the Russian Orthodox Church to help prevent abortion.[2]
Soviet Union and abortion law
In 1920, the Soviet Union became the first modern country to legalize the practice of abortion. In 1933, during the Joseph Stalin era, views however changed. In the Congress of Kiev in 1932, abortion was criticized for lowering the country's fertility rate. As a result, abortion was banned in 1933.
Historical background
See also: Abortion and atheism
The father of medicine, Hippocrates, expressly prohibited abortion in his ethical Oath long before Christianity.
The Journal of Medical Ethics article declared concerning the atheist and sadist Marquis de Sade:
| “ | In 1795 the Marquis de Sade published his La Philosophic dans le boudoir, in which he proposed the use of induced abortion for social reasons and as a means of population control. It is from this time that medical and social acceptance of abortion can be dated, although previously the subject had not been discussed in public in modern times. It is suggested that it was largely due to de Sade's writing that induced abortion received the impetus which resulted in its subsequent spread in western society.[3] | ” |
