The first public campaign defending legal abortion in Russia emerged in 2011, using the slogan "Fight Abortion, Not Women" to reject rights-based feminist language and call for state support of contraception. Rivkin-Fish examines the historical and political conditions behind this message, drawing on her extensive research on reproductive health and politics in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.
