Lift the Ban on Federally Funded Abortion Services for Military Victims of Rape and Incest

Current law permits the Department of Defense to provide abortion services at military facilities in cases of life endangerment, rape, or incest.  However, in the tragic cases of rape or incest, the woman must bear the cost of the procedure herself.   This ban adds insult to injury.

Even the very restrictive Medicaid law provides federal funding for abortion services for low-income women in cases of rape or incest, in addition to life endangerment.  Repealing the current-law ban on federally funded abortion services at military hospitals for victims of rape or incest would bring DoD's policy in line with current Medicaid law.
