Abortions should not be encouraged

By Ted Belman

Dr. Eli Schussheim, Chairman of Efrat Organization says ‘C’tee Robs From the Sick to Fund Abortions’

He attacked the recent decision by the Health Basket Committee to include funding for free abortions in the provided health care basket, even without proof of any medical problem in the fetus.

    “They are stealing 16 million shekels ($4.6 million) from sick people whose medicine saves and improves lives, and giving the money instead as a prize to 6,000 negligent women who didn’t prevent the pregnancy they didn’t want,” accuses Schussheim.

    The 16 million shekels for free abortions comes at the cost of other medicines, notes Schussheim, emphasizing that the money is “stolen from the sick who are in mortal danger.”

I also am against this legislation. Far better to encourage the birth of the babies by financially supporting the woman for carrying the baby until he/she is born. They could keep the baby or put it up for adoption.

If the government gave paid these pregnant woman $10,000, for instance, to carry full term it would be cheaper than incentivizing or subsidizing aliya and would provide babies to Israeli families who are desperate to adopt.

The government could also create a climate where going full term and putting up the babies for adoption would be considered patriotic.

The way I see it, it is win win all around.

    When Roe v. Wade (1973) overturned the laws of 50 states in order to legalize elective fetal homicide

    — it virtually destroyed the USA private adoption industry.

    Ever since 1973, there have been couples paying $8,000, $15,000, $20,000, and more — on the black market — for a baby to adopt.

    What’s more, the demand in American industry for illegal-alien labor (a demand which fuels the USA “immigration” controversy) is directly traceable to the absence — beginning some 40 years ago — of some 55 million persons whose lives were snuffed out in the womb before they ever saw the light of day.
