After my Russian wife was browsing the internal news yesterday to see what level of information is provided over there she mentioned that their solution in the abortion debate is to have everyone give birth, and just give up the kids to be raised by the state if you don't want them.

Also there seems to be a proposal to exclude women from higher education unless they've given birth.

Wow, that's wild. This will likely lead to women claiming/diagnosed to be infertile needing to have sex with the principal to enter higher schools.

Being forced to give birth to a child is very effectively excluding you from higher education(at least if you take care of it).

lso there seems to be a proposal to exclude women from higher education unless they’ve given birth.

Would they not be required for the skilled workforce?

How do you do that? Or is your wife one of those "Russian brides" that you pay but they never actually come to you?

(I'm just joking... I hope.. I am actually curious how to read internal Russian news. I have a couple VPS in Moscow.)

I am actually curious how to read internal Russian news.

Internet?

Internal

There is news for internal consumption, and news for a global audience. Both is available via internet nowadays - there's pretty much no local newspaper without internet presence nowadays.
