My understanding is that it is also consistent with Torah.

True?

Halacha (Jewish religious law) requires that an abortion be performed if there is a threat to the woman’s life. What is considered a “threat” can be liberally interpreted (note I said LIBERALLY not LITERALLY which would be the GOP language)

None of the Haredi parties in the Israeli government have objected to the abortion law so they are OK with it.

Agudath Israel of America (the US equivalent of the Israeli UTJ party) has objected previously to the GOP abortion bans claiming it endangers women’s lives.
