Nothing good can come from this.
Classic Alinskyish attack.
This event has caused me to rethink whether Israel is the Divine biblical restoration of the dispersed Nation of Israel or just another wart on the socialist backside of Mother Nature.
Clearly they have turned their back on the God of their Fathers.
I would guess the ultra-Orthodox are not protesting because they don’t abort, and this will only hasten secular Israel’s demographic demise.
I thought they already had a liberal abortion law?
I also think it’s stupid for Israel. But it’s good for the Palestinians.
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.
Maybe we should get the log out of our own country’s eye first?
Duh.
fta.... But Washington’s most anti-abortion lawmakers are largely silent on the new policy.

Hey, Buzzfeed Kate... It’s Israel, where they are free to make their own laws.
Most Americans do not like the UN or other countries telling us what we should or should not do. Same holds true for the US States not wanting the federal government butting into their laws. So why do you idiots at Buzzfeed think our federal government should become involved in a law democratically passed in another country???
How ironic. The Israeli government comes up with a scheme to eradicate more Jews than even the most radical Palestinian terrorists could dream of.
Do you suppose leftist harpies will now support Israel against the MB and the PLO? Or will they, like the "gays," continue to support the people who wouldn't put up with their foolishness because they are their fellow "oppressed?"
Unfortunately, outside of the Orthodox, abortion and "gay rights" are non-controversial in Israel. No one else thinks a thing about it. As Rabbi Yehuda Levin has often observed, "Is it any wonder that the sword has been unleashed on our Holy Land?"
Killing babies is wrong. We also have a lot of work to do in our own country to end abortion.
Many Evangelical Christians give their unconditional support to Israel, in spite of the fact that Israeli government supports social policies that they oppose here in the US (homosexual "marriage", abortion, a welfare state).
Meanwhile, they condemn Muslim societies as backward, barbaric, and Medieval, even though the social policies and views of those Muslim nations on those social issues are probably much close to Evangelicals than those in Israel.
Similarly, leftists who advocate abortion and homosexuality spew their venom at "red state Americans" for opposing these things, oppose Israel in spite of its liberal policies, and support Muslim nations who actually put people to death for abortion and homosexuality (I guess Phil Robertson bad-mouthing gays is so much worse than some Imam ordering their decapitation).
I’m not quiet: I’m saying Israel (the country, as opposed to other meanings) can go to hell.
