Another initiative to ban abortions could lead to a sharp increase in maternal mortality, "abortion tourism" and clandestine abortions, according to DW experts.The public in Ukraine continues to discuss a legislative initiative to ban abortions at the woman's request. The project was registered in parliament in late March.
"It is impossible to ban it, because we will immediately get an increase in maternal mortality rates, worsening access to qualified medical care. Romania has already banned abortions, and maternal mortality rates have skyrocketed. They were 15-20 times higher than in neighboring countries," - Kaminsky emphasizes.
"Our women will not go to Germany. They will look for a grandmother, a neighbor, and it will happen in the kitchen, bathroom, basement or field. They will risk their lives very much. Today in Ukraine, 80 percent of women who give birth are those who gives birth for the first time. And with this approach it will be the last time ", - warns Kaminsky.
"Not all doctors will agree. And those who agree are usually not very competent. The risks to women's health will increase many times over. The largest number of abortions in families in the village, when a woman already has several children and no longer wants "This is the main group that complements the statistics. The state of medicine in the villages is well known," Porovska said.
"Unfortunately, Ukraine continues to register a negative indicator of natural population growth, and one of the main reasons for this state of affairs is abortion," Golubov said in an explanatory note to the bill.
"As for the language issue and quotas, I am convinced that this is not a distraction, but a very important issue that needed to be addressed, and it was the will of much of civil society. As for abortion, I do not support these ideas and I am surprised that this topic "It's a conspiracy and speculation. We just need to explain whether it's a matter of time, not guess," said Natalia Detector Media, editor-in-chief. Ligachova.
"This question flares up when people want to advertise, when there are no other ways to rise to the wave of cheap popularity. And an unknown MP immediately becomes the hero of the day. This is a way of self-publicity ", - Vyacheslav Kaminsky, the chairman of the executive committee of the Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Ukraine, is convinced.
