Russia Abortion History

FILE - The Kremlin leadership including Mikhail S. Solomentsev, Viktor V. Grishin, Andrei A. Gromyko, Mikhail S. Gorbachev and Nikolai A. Tikhonov, attends a Women's Day gala, on March 7, 1985, at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, although President Konstantin U. Chernenko was absent. Abortion has a complicated history in the Soviet Union and Russia. It was outlawed under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in 1936 but was legalized and became commonplace under later Kremlin leaders. Under Gorbachev's reforms, a movement for family planning and adequate birth control was launched in the late 1980s by physicians who were mostly women. (AP Photo, File) 1985 FILE PHOTO
