Women who choose to interrupt their pregnancy are often faced with public condemnation. Prolifers call them murderers, religious institutions consider abortion to be a sin, bureaucrats talk about the state being deprived of another taxpayer.

Anna Rivina, Tatiana Nikonova and Daria Serenko are going to discuss the situation that has formed around abortion in Russia and abroad with the viewers.
