Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday vowed to provide service members with “seamless access” to reproductive health care in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
He said in a statement:
"Nothing is more important to me or to this Department than the health and well-being of our Service members, the civilian workforce and DOD families. I am committed to taking care of our people and ensuring the readiness and resilience of our Force. The Department is examining this decision closely and evaluating our policies to ensure we continue to provide seamless access to reproductive health care as permitted by federal law."
Austin’s statement comes after progressive veterans and service members voiced outraged on social media over the Supreme Court’s ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which effectively overturned Roe v. Wade. They expressed concern that service members would be serving in states that did not allow for abortion. Some claimed that the Supreme Court was coming after gay rights next.
During former President Donald Trump’s administration, Pentagon officials — particularly those who disliked Trump — strived to keep politics away from the Pentagon, arguing that it needed to remain apolitical.

Austin’s the name, and killing is the game!
Legally, he is correct because there is currently no federal law barring access to abortions.
Day one of the next Republican administration all the Joint Chiefs need to be fired and replaced. Be prepared to turn the military upside down to shake out all the woke, fags and trans.
Because killing babies is an essential function of the DoD....
No offense to our brave men and women who serve, but our new woke military that celebrates sodomy, transgenderism and abortion is a disgrace.
This is what affirmative action gets you.
This has to happen. And they had better use the transition period to have this all set and ready to go one minute after inauguration.
This is why I quit the Democrat Party and disavowed liberalism over ten years ago. This nonsensical obsession with abortion that the left has is disgusting and it has taken over the entire party. These are the same people who argued that abortions should be, “safe, legal and RARE”! They seem to have forgotten that!
This just makes him look like an unserious fool.
Killing an unborn child is not healthcare.
Maybe they could spend time and money helping the VA healthcare system
Lowest common denominator every time without fail.
Because in their minds recreational sex is more important than the life of a human baby.
I was thinking more on the lines to doing their research right now. There are entirely too many things that need to change on day one. The State Dept. needs to be gutted for instance. That needs to happen by neutering them first ... find desks in a warehouse where there are no phones or computers. The same goes for every agency that creates regulations. Neuter and replace with our people who rescind regulations.
Line him up and put a cigarette in his mouth.
Nothing like killing a child in the womb to top off a nice day.
Well, tax dollars better not be used in killing babies. How are they planning to pay for this?
BUMP!
Some people are so perfectly stupid.
