JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Monday eased its regulations on abortion access in what the country’s health minister said was a response to last week's “sad” U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
The new rules, approved by a parliamentary committee, grant women access to abortion pills through the country’s universal health system and remove a longstanding requirement that women appear physically before a special committee before they are permitted to terminate a pregnancy.
The decision came after the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday stripped away women’s constitutional protections for abortion, a fundamental and deeply personal change for Americans’ lives after nearly a half-century under Roe v. Wade. The decision has triggered protests across the U.S. and set the stage for a wave of litigation.
Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, who heads the small liberal Meretz party, said the U.S. decision had turned back the clock for women’s rights.
“A woman has a complete right over her body,” he said. “The SCOTUS decision to negate a woman’s right to make a choice over her own body is a sad process of women’s repression, setting the leader of the free and liberal world a hundred years back.”

Funny how no country in the world, especially Europe, don’t have abortion for any reason, at any time, up to birth.
“God’s Chosen people” huh?
Israel is full of conservatives…
Did anybody inform those friggen retards that UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT decisions have absolutely no effect on Non-Americans. What a bunch of morons. Somebody buy them a U.S. High School Civics Book and hire someone to read it to their tired retarded butts.
Nothing short of a direct asteroid strike will correct the world.
Apparently we are responsible for everything. Pay for everything, fight every war, and lead the globohomo charge…
Will they consider further steps later on, or is this their Final Solution to the problem?
Perhaps Israel could setup tiny furnaces.
More Jews have been murdered by their Israeli mothers than Hitler could murder. Very sad 😞
And the ruling has no affect on states that allow it; libs think it ended the killing of babies for their pleasure.
Israel has aborted up to 2 million Israelis over the decades. Israelis that would have done military service and built homes and families.
You would think that the thousands of years of brutality would cause Jews in general and in particular Israel to be very sensitive to the inhumanity of abortion.
Appears to be the opposite exists, go figure.
“A woman has a complete right over her body,” he said“
There are two bodies involved you idiot.
L
For this reason alone, I will never support Israel again.
It would be appalling enough to kill Jewish babies, but to slaughter their own babies as a statement against American pro-lifers, who have been supporting Israel for years, is the most heinous stab in the back possible.
End all support for Israel, military and otherwise. Require visas for Israelis to come here.
I have noticed Israel is a very far left country morally.
Not a good thing at all.
I agree, not a good look for Israel.
No the majority of Jews in Israel are extremely liberal and don’t have a deep devotion to God And believe it or not a lot of them are atheists..I know what a surprise right?! That’s what I heard recently from a scholar who was giving a presentation of the land of Israel and its people. They love the nation and protected with everything they have but a lot of them are atheists.
My understanding of Bible prophecy is that Israel is going to be brought to its knees in the Gog and Magog war. It has become self sufficient and God will soon show Israel that its existence is dependent upon Him alone.
What Israel did shows its secularism has replaced its Judaism.
The gayest city in the world is not San fran or NYC but Tel Aviv
Most don’t know this but it’s true
Amsterdam has to be a dam% close second.
