Summary
Russian lawmakers passed a controversial bill banning “child-free propaganda” to reverse a demographic slump and promote traditional family values.
The bill targets materials that promote a conscious rejection of having children and includes fines and deportation provisions.
It comes alongside existing bans on LGBTQ+ relationships and gender reassignment.
China and Russia are pushing their people to have more kids and increase their numbers while amplifying the sentiment that people from enemy nations shouldn’t have kids.
Because nothing says, “I should have children” than living under an overbearing autocratic government trying to control your life!
