Someone on a message board said that although in the past few decades the Russian abortion rate has been extremely high, the Soviets banned abortion until 1955. Another message board post said that homosexuality was illegal was legalized by the Bolsheviks, but then was illegal from 1933 to 1993. So I suppose American Communists of 1950 would have said that abortion and homosexuality were bad things, something I guessed at in an earlier post.
