European Population Conference 2008 «Abortions without medical indications should be restricted or forbidden by law» strongly agree, agree  Moslems (57%)  “Strong” Orthodox believers (51%)  Lower educational level (51%)  Residents of countryside (48%)  Large parent family (48%)  Having 3 and more children (48%) disagree, strongly disagree  Women younger 50 performed at least one abortion (40%) (performed 3+ – 46%)  Moscow and Saint- Petersburg (40%)  Higher education (38%)

European Population Conference 2008 Summary «The abortion culture» of Soviet times is being destroyed. The significant part of the Russian population disapproves abortion. It might be regarded as a favorable environment for further reduction of its level. At the same time transition to modern type of fertility regulation, with minimum number of undesired and mistimed pregnancies, stays far from end. Russian authorities, instead of promoting sex education and family planning services, tend to restrict access to abortion which could be harmful to public health. Unfortunately, a big part of population might support an abortion ban.
