Don't dare not give birth: Russia is preparing a bill banning "childfree ideology" 

The Deputy Minister of Justice stated this Vsevolod Vukolov, TASS reports. 

"We are currently actively drafting legislation to prevent the spread of child-free policies, when some argue that girls, especially young ones, shouldn't have children today, and that they can get by without them. Such ideologies, so to speak, of an extremist nature, are numerous today," Vukolov said at a session of the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, adding that it is necessary to build a legislative system that would counter these trends in Russia and in countries that share its values.

"There are 3... 2... 1... years left until the childlessness tax." wrote human rights activist Olga Romanova spoke about this.

NotMoscow asked Random passersby asked whether the state has the right to dictate how many children they should have, and whether they should have any at all. Here are some responses:

"It's up to each family to raise their children themselves."

"People should decide for themselves how many children they want—whether to have many or no children at all. I wouldn't want our children to be indoctrinated in any way."

"They can't force us to give birth, so that everyone from 18 to 60 - plus five more children!"
