There is lots of opposition to this in Israel. But, your news source did not choose to inform you of this.
It also appears that the new abortion policy there violates Jewish law, which begins with a strong anti-abortion stance and then allows exceptions but on a limited basis. For more information on Jewish abortion law, you may wish to quickly review: http://www.aish.com/ci/sam/48954946.html (”in general, abortion is permitted only if there is a direct threat to the mother...”).
Of course, not all Catholics follow the Church’s pro-life teachings, either...
Many Republicans in USA do not speak up against abortion in America. Why should they talk against abortion overseas?
The problem is far larger than described in your news article. The problem is in peoples’ hearts...
Somehow many people recognize the wonder and beauty of their own lives, but not the wonder and beauty of a little baby’s (or anybody else’s) life.
Pray that these stone- hearted people may find true Love (God, faith) and not just love of themselves.
The old abortion policy also violated Jewish law, even with the Jewish position on abortion being different from the Catholic one.
