The State Duma considers it necessary to toughen legislation on abortion

Khamzaev also emphasized the problem of substitution of concepts in society, especially concerning legislation. He pointed to the contradiction in the fact that the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation equates the murder of a pregnant woman with double murder, while abortion remains legal and authorized by law.

State Duma deputy Sultan Khamzaev spoke out about the serious abortion situation in Russia during an interview on Radio KP. He put forward an initiative to buy back children from women who decide to terminate pregnancy in order to significantly reduce the number of abortions in the country. According to Khamzaev, this is especially relevant in the context of a low birth rate.

However, the deputy's idea was not supported by his colleagues in parliament. Nevertheless, Khamzaev is confident that in time, society may come to demand such measures.

In his speech, he expressed hope that society could develop a more humane attitude towards the lives of children whom people themselves conceived and abandon the practice of abortion.

He concluded by emphasizing the importance of approaching the issue from the point of view of humanity and morality, urging society to think about the logic and consequences of its actions towards unborn children.

Earlier, the State Duma proposed to reduce the term for termination of pregnancy to 9 weeks, as well as according to the new rules of the Ministry of Health before abortion a woman will be forced to listen to the heartbeat of the fetus.
