The chief pediatrician of the Ural Federal District proposed to ban abortions without the consent of the ex. Olga Kovton supported the idea of termination of pregnancy with the consent of the man. According to her, the position of her husband - current or former - can influence the woman's decision to keep the child. The doctor is sure: if a partner dissuades his other half from having an abortion, he will guarantee her support, stability and possibly the restoration of the family. "The idea has a humanistic meaning. Miscarriage is always a dramatic situation for every woman, and it does not pass without a memory. That is why we are in favor of not having abortions. And if there is an opportunity to keep the child, even after we break up, we must do it. And if the ex-husband agrees to it, we must listen to it," Coveton said in an interview with Channel 4. The pediatrician did not specify how a woman should seek the consent of the father-to-be if he is unknown, hiding from previous child support payments, or the pregnancy resulted from rape. Do you think a man's consent is necessary for an abortion? - Yes, the decision must be shared. - No, it's a woman's personal decision.: Channel 4.
