Aksenov assured that abortion will not be banned in Crimea – Kommersant

The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, said that the refusal of private clinics to perform abortions was taken without the participation of the authorities of the republic, which do not intend to ban this procedure or in any way limit the personal freedoms of women. The governor wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

“It’s difficult to say whether there will be any decisions at the federal level. My personal position: if there are no serious contraindications, then there is no need to have an abortion. In turn, we do not intend to ban abortions or limit personal freedoms in any way,” Aksenov noted.

According to him, it is necessary to form a public position, ensure organizational issues in medical institutions, and work with both doctors and patients. “I believe that in each case an individual approach is needed, it is necessary to look for a balance,” concluded Aksenov.

Previously, the Minister of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan Konstantin Skorupsky statedthat private clinics in Crimea will stop performing abortions so as not to worsen the demographic situation. According to him, this will help women make more informed and thoughtful decisions regarding maintaining or terminating a pregnancy.
