Authorities mulling radical steps against home birth

Russia’s Justice Ministry has prepared a bill that allows official registration only to children born inside official medical institutions, effectively rendering home birth illegal.
In explanations published on the ministry’s website, the authors of the draft note they are targeting fraud schemes in which people register non-existent children, or children of other parents as their own. Usually, criminals do this to receive the so called “mother’s capital” – one-time monetary aid from the government, or other benefits.
The ministry experts also noted that the possibility of state registration of children born at home leads to increasing number of births without medical attendance, which endangers the health of women and children alike.
In 2012 and 2013, in central Russia’s Astrakhan Region alone, courts annulled 43 birth certificates issued to members of the local Roma community, the sponsors of the bill claim.
The officials decry the current situation, where a child can be registered on the basis of eyewitness testimony and suggest issuing birth certificates only to children born in official medical institutions. The only possible exception is made for people who live in remote and isolated locations. The list of areas and districts with such locations has to be prepared by the government.
In 2012, 3,551 children in Russia were registered in accordance with eyewitness accounts, and in 2013 the number was 3,881.
The bill has not yet been drafted, but has already met with opposition from senior MPs. The head of the Lower House committee for women, children and family, Yelena Mizulina, told the RIA Novosti news agency that the step was inhumane, adding that the Russian family code gives every woman the right to home birth. Stripping citizens of their right just because some fraudsters are abusing it will not be a justifiable solution, Mizulina stated.
The intense reaction among mass media, activists and the public prompted the Justice Ministry to issue a new press release insisitng the suggested measures should not be described as a “ban on home birth.” Children born outside medical institutions will be registered like anyone else, but mothers will have to either get a certificate from medics, or prove their motherhood in court, the ministry’s press service elaborated.

Now we can look at this from a different point of view and one from an admiralty/uniform commercial code angle. If you have a home birth you can easily make sure a child is not registered with the state. When you do not register a child the state has no control over that child and they cannot make any slave funds from that being. As soon as a child is registered then the Cestui Que Vie is setup and this turns the child into a missing beyond the sea being and a person is set up in its place. The being that lives is now seen as insane for animating a corporation and now needs permission from the state through licenses etc. Hospitals are seen as adoption areas for the state and a birthed baby is seen the same as a parent dropping off a child at the doors of an orphanage. I do not know about in Russia but in the U.S. they will then bully you into registering the child so they can get their $3000 plus per child commission from the state. So once you know what goes on then you can see why maybe another reason could be behind this especially as Russia has to watch over its economy etc.
