The country’s own statistics show that there are 1022 abortions committed for every 1000 births. Official numbers show between 1.6 and 1.7 million abortions per year, but unofficial estimates put it at closer to 6 million per year, 90 percent of which are done, as in most of the developed world, at the woman’s request for “social,” not medical reasons.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said last week 1.5 trillion rubles will be invested in "demography projects" to impvoed the average life expectancy and to boost the birth rate by 25-30 percent over three years.
