Maybe, but that doesn't keep it from being evil for progressives:
Israel is a socialist country offering free abortions.
Hmm, Israel's abortion policy is nowhere near as extreme as that demanded by all American liberals:
Abortion in Israel is legal under certain circumstances, with the approval of a committee for pregnancy termination. Approval for an abortion in Israel by a termination committee is given if the woman is unmarried, because of age (if the woman is under the age of 17 - the legal marriage age in Israel - or over the age 40), the pregnancy was conceived under illegal circumstances (rape, statutory rape, etc.) or an incestuous relationship, birth defects, risk of health to the mother, and life of the mother. [1]
According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics report from 2004, in 2003 most abortion requests were granted, with 19,500 legal abortions performed and 200 requests for abortion denied. Reasons for termination went as follows: the woman was unmarried (42%), because of illegal circumstances (11%), health risks to the woman (about 20%), age of the woman (11%) and fetal birth defects (about 17%). [2] Women who would not qualify for an abortion under the statutory scheme may seek an abortion at a private clinic.
About half of all abortions in Israel are performed illegally in private doctors' clinics without the approval from a committee. Women who get such an abortion do not face criminal penalties, but physicians who perform them face a fine or up to five years' imprisonment, but there have been no known prosecutions of doctors for performing illegal abortions. [3] About 40,000 abortions take place in Israel every year, about half of them legal. [2] [4]
American liberals demand abortion with no conditions or restrictions at all.
See how unprogressive Israel is. At least half the desired abortions there are illegal or denied. No wonder progressives think Jews should be attacked on sight. |
