When making public statements about abortion, those serving in the Russian Orthodox Church are beholden to the legacy of the Soviet health care system and the need to connect with audiences whose religious sentiments are largely nominal. This article explores framing of abortion by clerics and others serving in the Church in 150 Russian online newspaper articles. Said framing was analyzed according to typologies from prior research of morality policy and church-state relations in Russia. The frequency with which these frames were employed was measured and cross-referenced with article genres. The results show that rational-instrumental frames rooted in secular reasoning surpassed religious argumentation and appeals for state intervention, and that frames expressing disillusionment with the Russian government outpaced positive assessments of the state.
在就堕胎问题发表公开声明时，俄罗斯东正教会的神职人员受到苏联医疗体系遗产的影响，并且需要与宗教情感大多流于表面的受众建立联系。本文通过150篇俄罗斯在线报纸文章，探讨了神职人员及教会其他人员对堕胎问题的表述框架。根据此前对俄罗斯道德政策和政教关系的研究类型，对上述表述框架进行了分析。对这些框架的使用频率进行了测量，并与文章类型进行了交叉比对。结果显示，基于世俗推理的理性工具性框架超过了宗教论证和对国家干预的呼吁，而且表达对俄罗斯政府失望的框架超过了对国家的积极评价。
