An Israeli committee has voted to grant women access to medication abortions under the country's healthcare plan, and to obtain abortions at local health centers.
(LifeSiteNews) – Israel enacted a new policy on Monday to facilitate abortion access for women after the U.S. overturn of Roe v. Wade.
The Knesset Labor, Welfare and Health Committee of Israel voted to grant women access to medication abortion through the country’s universal health system as well as allow digital review of applications for abortion instead of in-person appearances before a committee whose approval was required for an abortion since 1978.
The committee, composed of a social worker and two doctors, will “only conduct hearings in the very rare case it initially denies the procedure,” according to The Washington Post.
Around 98 percent of abortion applications in Israel are approved, according to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics.
Currently, to get an abortion in Israel, a woman must meet one criteria: She is under 18 or over 40; is unmarried; her pregnancy is the result of rape, incest or an “illicit union,” including adultery; or if the woman’s mental or physical health is at risk.
The new abortion policy additionally allows women to, for the first time, obtain abortions at their local health centers rather than at hospitals or surgical clinics.
In addition, what Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz called “humiliating and intrusive questions will be removed and the questionnaire will be reduced to what is really important to the committee, and there will be no reference to a woman’s past and behavior,” such as questions about contraception.

No. Only liberals teach that.
Israel would abort Israel if it could. Gen 25: 21-26. Those were children.
It may have done itself in with the vaccines and they can and may affect the birthrate for the country.
