The Trump Administration intends to ban U.S. military veterans from obtaining abortion care through the federal government's healthcare, thereby negating the Biden Administration's 2022 rule that allowed such access. This proposed policy will prevent abortions, even in circumstances of rape, incest, or health risks, except when a physician certifies the mother's life is in danger. The rule will affect veterans regardless of their states' abortion laws and follows earlier actions to end gender-affirming care for transgender veterans, adversely impacting their healthcare and rights.
After veterans put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms, the Trump administration is trying to rob them of their own freedoms and putting their health at risk.
The proposed policy would eliminate the Biden Administration's 2022 rule guaranteeing access to abortion through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The filing accuses the Biden Administration of allowing access to abortion 'without regard to State law.'
