So Israel

has free abortions.

Israel’s abortion law now among world’s most liberal

Despite its conservative leanings, government approves free pregnancy termination for nearly all women, and it barely causes a ripple

If we subsidize that country to the tune of billions each year, we are, in effect, paying for Israeli women to abort their offspring.
So, why are there pro-life people who support subsidizing that country?

Ever consider that if a women is willing to abort her baby that could be a sign she isn't fit to be a mother. ???

Abortion in Israel is funded through what they call health basket or their national health system which is funded by Israeli citizens.

And that makes it OK?

The reality is Jews do not believe that life begins at conception.

I'm firmly against abortion but the op was insinuating the US is funding abortion in Israel and that's not true

I don't see in the article where it says we're funding their abortions. Of the roughly $3.8 billion the US provides Israel with annual foreign aid, it's almost exclusively used for military purposes, including purchasing advanced American-made weapons, fighter jets (like F-35s), and replenishing missile defense systems such as the Iron Dome.

And don't forget missiles. Boy howdy, I am here to tell you, it is time to be in the missile making business.

It is doing so obliquely, like the US subsidizes the rest of Europe's lavish welfare states, via them not having to pay for their own defense because of US shouldering the burden of NATO.

If we subsidize them, we are in effect paying for it.
If we send afghanistan 50m in aid, and they use that for medicine or something, that will free up 50m for weapons and bombs and such. Its the same thing.

Absolutely. But that is irrelevant in this thread.

I know. See above.

No. Im just asking a legit question.

Neither you nor I know how the aid is distributed but according to Israel their healthcare is funded by taxpayers. Show anything showing otherwise and your point is valid

You arent getting my point.

Oddball does.

sassy ansd the Israel apologists hard at work again as always.

that is BECAUSE oddball is not an Israeli apologist and unlike her,able to think outside the box and be objective.

Oddball does.

I got your point. You're just aggravated for some reason. Prove aid to*Israel funds abortion. You can't, you suspect it does

 

[Dogmaphobe]

As the article states, Israel has the most liberal laws.

Isn't it ironic that all those in this forum who call themselves liberals hate the Jewish state like they do while supporting the knuckle dragging inbred savages who are stuck in the seventh century?

I dont have to prove anything. I didnt claim we are directly paying for it.
