Russia Bans “Childfree Propaganda”: What It Means for Individual Choice
Russia bans “childfree” propaganda.
I shared news about this a couple of months ago, but (naively) didn’t think it would actually get here. Today, the lower house of Parliament unanimously approved this bill targeting “childfree lifestyles.”
If you’re wondering how “propaganda” is defined, it includes anything on the internet, media, movies, and even in advertising that presents the childfree lifestyle as attractive.
