Israel has eased its regulations on abortion access in what the country’s health minister said was a response to last week's “sad” US Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.The new rules, approved on Monday by a parliamentary committee, grant women access to abortion pills through the country’s universal health system and remove a longstanding requirement that women appear physically before a special committee before they are permitted to terminate a pregnancy.The decision came after the US Supreme Court on Friday stripped away women’s constitutional protections for abortion, a fundamental and deeply personal change for Americans’ lives after nearly a half-century under Roe v. Wade.
