just two pieces of news became an occasion for reflection about the rollback of Russia if not in the middle Ages, at least in the Soviet past. In the morning on Wednesday it became known that the Russian government supported the bill of the Senator Elena Mizulina to ban the baby boxes — devices that allow physicians to accept newborns anonymously left. The Senator had prepared this bill, together with experts of public organization “all-Russian Parental resistance”.
site Mizulina reported that the government “gave a positive official opinion” on the bill Senator introduced by the State Duma on 1 June this year. It provides for a ban on the implementation of activities aimed at organization of anonymous abandonment of children, including the creation and maintenance of special places.
“in Other words, the legislative initiative prohibits baby-boxes on the territory of Russia”, — stated in the message on the website.
moreover, the bill provides for administrative liability of legal persons for the organization of baby-boxes: for this “offence” is proposed to impose an administrative fine in the amount from 1 million to 5 million rubles or to suspend the activity of the legal entity for up to 90 days.
the Senator also said that the ban on baby-boxes there are three reasons: “the state should not encourage the abandonment of babies, the presence of baby-boxes “significantly increases the risks of child trafficking and other transactions with them,” and thus “violated the child’s right to identity.”
the Russian Cabinet considered it appropriate that the ban on baby-boxes due to the necessity of the execution of the Russian Federation of the Convention on the rights of the child. Meanwhile, the state Duma Committee on the family, criticized the bill: “we Have every year such cases are. One of the Central squares of the city in the urn was found a newborn child, perfectly healthy, but dead at zero temperature, — said the Deputy Irina Chirkova. — I consider that here it is necessary very carefully and thoughtfully relate to the topic. If at least one subject of one or two lives this will save, I will have two hands to protect her”.
Experience of Krasnodar shows that baby-boxes — an extremely positive initiative. Doctors say that trapped inside the device the kids are in no danger — they fall into the hands of the resuscitator, and then pass a comprehensive examination. Sometimes moms come to their senses in court and establish a relationship, taking the family blithely abandoned baby (every fourth baby cast in baby-box in the Kuban region, returned to his parents). The first domestic baby-box, or, as it is called, “window of life”, was opened in September 2011 in Sochi. Today in the Krasnodar region has five such devices: two in Krasnodar and one each in Sochi, Armavir and Novorossiysk. In less than five years they have saved the lives of 17 newborns.
there is Another disturbing development related to childbirth, came first from the Russian Orthodox Church, and then found an echo among the social activists in Russia have again started talking about a ban on abortion. On the eve of the Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Kirill signed a petition calling for a complete ban on abortion. The document required to establish that the status of human beings will be assigned to each fetus from the moment of conception, after which his life, health and well-being should be protected by law. Also in the statement referred to the need to ban contraceptives with abortive effects and reproductive technologies, as they are an integral part of “human dignity, the humiliation and murder of children in the initial stages of embryonic development”.
the press service of the Patriarch hastened clarify that the text says about the exclusion of abortion from the system of compulsory medical insurance (OMS), and not their complete prohibition. However, the topic will be continued in the form of (expected) application of the new children’s Ombudsman Anna Kuznetsova: “the Entire civilized world not the first acts against the phenomenon of abortion, and we support this position, of course, believe that this issue requires a systemic approach,” she said. Also, according to her, in Russia there is a system of consultations for pregnant women, which has allowed 67 thousand to dissuade expectant mothers from abortion. Kuznetsova believes that this work should continue, “emphasis on the protection of traditional family values.” The initiative is also supported by the Supreme mufti of Russia Talgat Tadzhuddin and the Commission for the support of family, children and motherhood Public chamber of the Russian Federation.
However, the topic of a ban or restriction on abortion POPs up in Russian not on the agenda for the first time in may last year in the state Duma was introduced a number of bills proposing to severely restrict the opportunity available and free abortions. The idea belonged to the same Elena Mizulina (CF) and Sergei Popov (United Russia): it was proposed to take abortion out of the MMI system and the prohibition to provide this medical service in private clinics. According to the authors, the abortion can be done only paid only in state institutions (with the exception of abortion for medical or social reasons). In addition, the authors intended to prohibit pills for abortion in early pregnancy and require decided to make an abortion a woman to undergo ultrasound examination for imaging of the fetus and listen to its heartbeat.
Then, the initiative has not received support in the Ministry of health, the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of economic development, the Ministry of justice, the Federal mandatory medical insurance Fund and the Institute of legislation and comparative law under the government. In conclusion, the White house was told that the law enshrines the right of women to decide on motherhood, and the restriction of abortions will lead to an increase in the number of children abandoned and clandestine operations.
