Russia’s Vologda Region Moves Toward Total Abortion Ban

Vologda Governor Georgy Filimonov is advocating for a total ban on abortion services in his region, including private clinics, as reported by the state-run TASS news agency.
Filimonov plans to meet with medical officials to discuss the abandonment of abortions, reflecting a broader trend of hostility toward women's reproductive rights in Russia.
Fifteen Russian regions have imposed fines for encouraging abortions, while some regions are offering financial incentives to young women to give birth.
If approved, Vologda would become the first Russian region to implement a total abortion ban, a measure that has been developed in collaboration with public organizations and the Russian Orthodox Church.
