The purpose of this article is to analyze the current situation in the field of birth control in Russia based on reliable and trustworthy sources. The authors reveal a favorable trend of transition from abortions, as a means of birth control, to modern family planning. The trends in induced and spontaneous abortions are examined separately; the share of the latter in the annual number of pregnancy terminations is coming to a half. The authors assess the contribution of the non-state sector to the provision of medical care for abortion. They show that, along with a general decrease in the prevalence of abortions in Russia, there is a redistribution of abortions in favor of the private sector, that is, from the insurance sector to the commercial one.
