Measures for punishment proposed in Krasnoyarsk Krai for promoting abortions
In the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia, new fines have been defined for individuals who coerce women into having abortions. These penalties are part of amendments made to the regional administrative code, aligning with federal laws on administrative offenses.
Here's the scoop:
- Offense Nature: Coercion to make a woman have an abortion is classified as an administrative offense.
- Fine Amounts:
- For individuals, the fine usually ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles.
- For officials or representatives, fines typically go up to 100,000 to 200,000 rubles.
- For organizations, if coercion takes place within the organizational context, the fine can be as high as 300,000 rubles or more.
- Additional Penalties: Besides fines, the law may impose other administrative measures, such as warning or restrictions related to professional activities.
Originally proposed by the local prosecutor, these regulations aim to serve as a deterrent to actions that potentially put women at risk of involuntary abortions without medical justification. The amendments are part of broader federal efforts in Russia to regulate abortion practices and prevent unlawful coercion.
Here's a quick summary:
| Offender Type | Fine Range (RUB) ||--------------------------|-----------------------|| Individual | 30,000 – 50,000 || Officials / Representatives | 100,000 – 200,000 || Organizations | Up to 300,000 or more |
