Russia's abortion rate is creating one of the world's worst demographic crises.

Russia was the first nation to legalize abortion during the Marxist movement. It was intended to stabilize the economy and instead it has caused such a decline in the nation's birthrate that abortions have "outstripped" the births. At this rate Russia's population is on a steady decline of 700,000 people a year. Rather than salvaging the economy, abortion has proved to be a fatal blow to it.

High-level politicians have called for both parents to be involved in the consent for an abortion saying, "The decision to give birth to or murder a baby is an enormous one and it should be made by the parents together." They hope to rescue the lives of their future to ensure that Russia will live on, and not die before it is even born.
