It's happening: ABORTION ADS BANNED IN RUSSIA.

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Furthermore, we all know how much effect on smoking the ban on cigarette ads had in the US.

I bit off topic, but since you brought it up... the effect has been pretty phenomenal, compared to 10-15 years ago. I can now go into many clubs, restaurants, and other public buildings and breath freely. I first saw this in Germany, then again in California before it was very widespread. Glad it happened!

It was you that said that the Soviets pushed abortions and that they took off as the Soviets collapsed. Did sports and academics and mass transportation also take off when the Soviet Union collapsed? How about communism? They were big on that, too. Did that take off following the collapse of the Soviet Union as well?

No it was weird, abortions, second hand shops and collecting returnable bottle thrived for some reason.

That sounds like something the old Pravda would have published. However, one might ask how is it possible that the population in Russia is being decimated when there are thousands of abandoned kids in Russian orphanages waiting for western couples to adopt them.

Furthermore, we all know how much effect on smoking the ban on cigarette ads had in the US.

Last time anyone checked there is an excess of unwanted kids in Russia, which really hardly indicates a decline in population because of abortions.

However, it is easy to see how this useless piece of legislation would be heralded as breaking news by those who consider Putin a paragon of democracy. It's Orwellian at best.

It refers to my prediction that Abortion... and then birth control is on the European horizon.

- I'm not claiming that it cures anything or that it will happen everywhere, but it will be an effort to reverse their plummeting demographic loss.

Especially after one or two countries fold because of it.

ah yes, danno's 2014 predictions! i've been waiting on the edge of my seat!

so, one or two countries are going to fold because of abortion and or birth control and then the religious inherit the earth. oh boy danno, big win on the horizon huh?! first we end abortion commercials (if they'd ever hurry up and start we could end them, i mean) and then we make sure that absolutely no possible conception is ever interrupted again!

please continue to share these gems as they enter your psyche, danno.

It's anyone's guess really... Something was lost in translation, quite possibly...

This is pure madness. Even for you.

Wouldn't that be the result of indoor smoking bans, not the result of banning smoking in advertisements, though?

Depends on what he means by 'fold'.

If a country enters a period of prolonged fiscal instability because of, say, a pension crisis, one could say that country has 'folded'.

Not enough young people, caused by a low birthrate, is a serious problem in much of the West. Not in the US, thankfully.
