abortion in Russia

[baron chivrin]

I know this is not a linguistic question, but...

Can anyone tell me about the prevalance of abortions in Russia? Is it
legal or illegal? Is it generally disapproved of? If it is legal, is it
difficult for a woman to have an abortion? Is it strictly regulated? Is
it subsidized at all by the government?

And, what is the prevalance of other forms of birth control in Russia?

I have a translation job I'm doing and it would be very useful to know
the answers to these questions.

Please respond to me off-list.

Thank you.
