The topicality of decision-making of the legal and organizational nature, passed mainly at the state level, and ensuring the normal performance of the reproductive function as a component of public health is demonstrated. Statistic data on the specificity of reproductive health and its shaping-up in the growing generation as well as on the aftermaths of an early sexual activity and on an influence of the so-called "deviational" behavioral forms as observed in contemporary teenagers are presented. Appropriate international documents are analyzed; the role of international organizations in designing the reproductive rights of citizens and the related recommendations of how to implement such rights are demonstrated. National legislation acts pertaining to the discussed sphere and, in particular, the efforts undertaken to eliminate, in Russia, all forms of discrimination in respect to women, as well as efforts targeted at securing the rights to a free reproductive choice, at reproductive health protection and at family planning are in focus of attention.
