Whether or not modern sex education was encouraged, modern birth control propagated, the right and access to abortion guaranteed, etc. depended upon a lot of factors and changed over time.

The Soviets made access to abortion easy (except for the period under Stalin when it was illegal), but then on the other hand it was extremely difficult to get contraception (because they were prudes), with the result that abortion was used as contraception (and still is).
