Most of the posters here are missing two critical points:
1. Hatzalah does not often take pregnant women to the hospital, as they usually go with their husband or by car service.
2. Women across America (Jews and Gentiles) use standard 911 EMS service that has a chance that the paramedic and ambulance crew will be male or female. The patient rarely ever knows in advance. Yet there is no major outcry by American women to institute a “female ambulance service” due to “women’s special needs” only addressable by “other women”.
So, frankly, this whole hubabaloo is much ado about nothing, regarding an unneeded service being promoted for feministic reasons that will rarely be called.
Does anyone really think frum women are going to call this newfangled women’s ambulance service instead of calling Hatzalah when they are in midst of a medical emergency??
