| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Sergey Ryanzanov [REGNUM] State Duma deputy from United Russia, member of the health protection committee Veronika Vlasova proposed: artificial termination of pregnancy should be carried out with the consent of not only the mother, but also the father, if the marriage is registered. Amendments will need to be made to the law “On the Fundamentals of Health Protection,” Vlasova added. In addition, the deputy proposed reducing the period at which it is possible to perform an abortion to 8 weeks inclusive (under the current law this is possible for up to 12 weeks) and allowing the procedure to be carried out only after a mandatory ultrasound and demonstration of the fetal heartbeat to the mother. |
