The State Duma has proposed banning pornographic websites for childless Russians.

This will help increase the birth rate in the country, says the first deputy chair of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Fatherhood, Motherhood, and Childhood. Tatyana Butskaya. In her statement, she focused on teenagers:

"It's surprising why they don't want to have sex. It's just the way nature works: teenagers are hormonal and they just need to have sex. If they don't have it, then apparently there are some kind of surrogates, — Butskaya reasons. "These are adult websites <…>. If we simply turn a blind eye to this situation, then that very sperm will likely never unite with that very egg."

Russian authorities are actively trying to stimulate the birth rate, including teenage births. For example, they are introducing financial support for young pregnant girls, opening rental centers for essential baby items, and discussing opening reproductive clinics for minors. Experts say such measures are "normalizing an abnormal situation."

Previously State Duma deputy Veronica Vlasova She stated that in 50% of cases, girls begin having sex before the age of 16. According to her, now there is a fight for every pregnancy, and it is better for schoolgirls to continue their pregnancy because "Being young parents is great."
