Orthodox Official Compares Abortion Numbers in Russia to WWII Losses

Russia’s population has suffered more from abortion than it did from its losses during World War II, a Russian Orthodox official in charge of family affairs has said.

Russia legalized abortion in 1955 and has the second-highest abortion rate in the world after China. While Russia’s anti-abortion movement has largely failed to change the law, it has gained momentum in recent years, spurred by the rise of the Orthodox Church as a powerful political force.

“The mass murder of Russian children by Russian people is worse than the Holocaust,” Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov, who heads a patriarchal commission for children’s and mother’s rights, was quoted as saying by Interfax on Thursday.

Comparing abortions to wartime casualties at a conference on reproductive rights, Smirnov said: “How many have we killed ourselves? More than in World War II.”

An estimated 27 million Soviet troops and civilians were killed between 1941 and 1945 in what Russia calls the Great Patriotic War.

FORMER MISSOURI TEACHING ASSISTANT ACCUSED OF RAPING 7-YEAR-OLD BOY, ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO GET BOY AND MOM KILLED

A former Missouri teaching assistant and another man were charged Wednesday for conspiring to kill a boy and his mother.

Deonte Taylor, 36, and Michael Johnson, 66, allegedly agreed to pay a confidential individual to murder a boy and his mother. Johnson’s charge said the purpose was to prevent the mom and her child from testifying in court over a sodomy case involving Taylor, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday. The agreement occurred sometime between Feb. 7 and Feb. 26.

Taylor allegedly sexually abused the then 7-year-old boy in a Hazelwood School District (HSD) elementary school’s classroom on Nov. 13, 2015. The sodomy charges allege Taylor’s DNA was found on the boy’s body and clothes. The district fired Taylor following allegations filed to police, according to the Post-Dispatch.

HSD Director of Communications and Public Relations Kimberly McKenzie said to The Daily Caller News Foundation over the phone that Taylor was fired due to an unrelated violation of a district policy.

“He [Taylor] was terminated for reasons unrelated to the allegations because at the time he was employed or on suspension with the Hazelwood School District, he had not been charged with anything,” McKenzie said.

The Ferguson-Florissant School District (FFSD) hired Taylor to work with fifth-graders shortly after being fired from HSD, but prior to charges. The district was unaware of Taylor’s allegations or that he was under investigation. FFSD placed him on leave once finding out.

FFSD claimed they contacted past work references and Taylor had passed a background check, the Post-Dispatch previously reported.

“Ferguson-Florissant School District always conducts background checks during the hiring process,” the district said. “This employee’s criminal and child abuse/neglect background check came back clear with no indication of prior criminal history. The district would not knowingly hire a potential employee who had a record of or had committed crimes against children.”

But HSD said Taylor’s employment file included the allegations and termination. The file allegedly even said “do not rehire.”

Taylor was charged with three counts of sodomy in November 2018. He is being held on a $150,000 bail and has been in custody at the St. Louis County Jail since the sodomy charges.
