Israel’s abortion law

Beginning next year, “Israel will pay for abortions for women aged 20 to 33 regardless of circumstance . . . health officials said Monday, adding that they hope to make eligibility for state funding universal in the future.

“The new rule opens it up for 6,300 more women to have a state-funded abortion next year, at a cost of about 16 million shekels ($4.6 million). The cost of all state-subsidized abortions is estimated at 24 million shekels a year.”

Prof. Jonathan Halevy told reporters that the intention was eventually to raise the age to 40.
