Israel
will pay for abortions for women aged 20 to 33 regardless of
circumstance starting this year, health officials said Monday, adding
that they hope to make eligibility for state funding universal in the
future.
Until
now, subsidized abortions for women of all ages were available in
medical emergencies or in case of molest and intimate abuse. Women under
the age of 20 or over 40 were also eligible for abortion funding even
when the reason was personal.
