Senior rabbis in religious Zionism sent a special letter on Tuesday to Prime Minister and Defense Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi of the Israel Defense Forces, expressing their concern over the rise in abortions in the IDF, according to Channel 12 News.
The rabbis' appeal probably comes in response to a Galei Tzahal radio story a week ago, which said that this year saw a significant increase in the number of abortions, despite the IDF's efforts to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies.
