Lawmakers have proposed a ban on “propaganda of conscious refusal to bear children,” Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the lower house of parliament and an ally of President Vladimir Putin, said in a post on Telegram on Tuesday.

The bill would tackle what Volodin said was the promotion of the “ideology of childlessness” and the “childfree movement” on the internet, in the media, in movies and even in advertisements, citing what he said where frequent online displays of “disrespect for motherhood and fatherhood, aggression toward pregnant women and children, and members of large families.”

It will come with heavy fines, he said, of up to $4,300 for individuals and more than $53,000 for legal entities. “A close-knit and large family is the basis of a strong state,” Volodin added.

“A woman’s purpose is to procreate — this is an absolutely unique natural gift,” Putin said in March. Earlier this month, he said the government was creating conditions for women to achieve professional success while remaining “the real soul of a large family.” Combining the two is no easy task, the Russian leader said, “but our women know how to do it and remain beautiful, gentle and charming under such stress.”

Men and women should not be equal before the law…women should not be entitled to any government student loans. I am actually opposed to all government student loans but that is besides the point. We need women getting married sooner and having more babies. Almost every professional and post secondary academic activity done by women is a distraction from their primary function.
