Abstract:
Abstract: The purpose of writing the work was to study the problem of the lack of criminal legal protection of a person at the stage of prenatal development from the point of view of its contradiction with the goals of state policy, the national priorities of the Russian Federation, legally protected values, as well as the impact on various social processes.
The author analyzes the rules of law and concludes that the lack of criminal law protection of a person's life at the stage of his prenatal development contradicts the traditional moral foundations of Russian society, violates the requirements of international law on the proper legal protection of a child before birth, determines violations of the rules for artificial termination of pregnancy and the criminalization of public relations in the field of artificial termination of pregnancy.
The absence of criminal legal protection of a person at the stage of prenatal development is defined as a criminogenic factor that contributes to the commission of unlawful acts, this argues the need to eliminate it by supplementing Article 123 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with an independent corpus delicti that provides for criminal liability for carrying out artificial termination of pregnancy in violation of the deadlines established by legislation in the field of health care for artificial termination of pregnancy, as well as in the presence of medical contraindications.
