Volodin, using the example of State Duma deputies, explained the danger of childfree propaganda
Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin believes that the ideas of childfree (refusal of childbearing) are being imposed on Russia by European countries and the USA. He clarified that a woman herself has the right to decide whether to have children or not, but “there should be no propaganda for childfree.” During the plenary session of the State Duma, Mr. Volodin also criticized deputies who do not support the ban.
“If there had been such propaganda before, many would not be here, especially those who now say: no, we will be against this,” he said. Those who disagree with the bill banning childfree propaganda, according to the chairman, are going against their country and their own mothers. Fragment of a speech by Vyacheslav Volodin published press service of the State Duma.
The speaker called opponents of the ban “born in a test tube” and called on them to find out who voted for them. “Were you born in a test tube and became politicians? Where did you come from? — the Chairman of the State Duma wondered. “Not a single mother, not a single grandmother, not a single father in their right mind will tick the box and support a person who opposes the initiative to ban what? Not the right to choose, but propaganda. Propaganda against childbearing,” he added.
A bill banning childfree propaganda was introduced into the State Duma on September 25. The project proposes to introduce fines of up to 400 thousand rubles. for individuals, up to 800 thousand rubles for officials and up to 5 million rubles for legal entities. Administrative liability will be imposed for promoting childfree behavior on the Internet, the media, cinema and advertising.
On September 24, the government commission on legislative activities supported the initiative. However, she proposed clarifying the concept of “refusal of childbearing” so that sanctions would not apply to monks, rape victims and those who refuse to give birth for medical reasons.
