A draft law has been submitted to the Russian State Legislative Assembly (the Duma) to prohibited any information that promotes voluntary rejection of childbirth from spreading among the minors.
The draft law has been posted in the chamber's legislative database on Wednesday. It was authored by deputies of the Parliament of Bashkiria and two members of the State Duma.
In the explanatory note they point out that the "childfree" ideology based upon voluntary refusal to have children "runs counter to traditional family values and state policy of the Russian Federation".
In this connection, the draft federal law proposes amendments to the legislation in terms of classifying information promoting the voluntary rejection of childbirth and the ideology of childlessness as information prohibited for distribution to children.
