To life



The summer 2006 Lebanon war triggered a baby boom in Israel, according to a report on Channel 10 television Monday. According to health maintenance organization statistics, the number of women currently in advanced stages of pregnancy was 35% higher than a year ago.

Commenting on the pregnancy figures, Gila Bronner, director of the Sexual Health Service at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, said stepped-up sexual activity after a war was an affirmation of life.
