In preparation for treating coronavirus patients, the Health Ministry has canceled all but urgent scheduled health procedures from the beginning of the week. Exceptions were made for procedures such as oncology treatments and operations, urgent vascular surgery, dialysis, catheterization and medical imaging. In vitro fertility treatments are also continuing, especially for women who have already started them.
But termination of pregnancy does not appear on the list of exceptions the ministry issued to hospitals. Currently about 60 percent of abortions are carried out in hospitals and 40 percent are done in private surgical clinics. In a letter to the Heath Ministry’s management, a large number of women’s organizations and public health professionals warn that if women are not given the right to terminate a pregnancy, they may have to undergo a dangerous underground abortion.
“Termination of a pregnancy is not a procedure that can be delayed, and violating the right to accessible and safe abortions could very well cause women to act out of despair in ways that could endanger them,” states the letter.
The letter was signed by the Israel Women’s Network; Isha L’Isha – Haifa Feminist Center, the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel; Women and their Bodies; Prof. Nadav Davidovitch, the head of the school of public health at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; and others.

How much of what leads to pregnancy is these women’s focus of existing?

God have mercy on us!
