Results: The investigation confirmed that the most popular family planning methods are well-known among Russian women and are in retail sale. Our respondents have adequate individual evaluation of modem contraception methods. The most using methods of contraception among respondents are barrier methods and intrauterine devices. Most of respondents correctly evaluates negative consequences of abortions but 73% of respondents are morally ready to do abortion. In real life 87% of respondents had at least 1 abortion in spite of its negative consequences, 90% of them said about post-abortion’s psycho-emotional shock.
