In states that prohibit it? The federal can’t offer to perform abortions there.

To US military members-—

Refuse the poison vaxxx and you get fired
You need an abortion? We (FedGuv) will pay your way to travel to an abortion state like NY or California. My rough guess is that 30 states will allow abortion.

Americans in 26 States Will Have to Travel 552 Miles For Abortions

Now that the US Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, millions of Americans will soon find themselves in abortion deserts, meaning they will have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to access the medical procedure. Roughly 33 million women of child-bearing age live in states with existing or expected abortion bans.

No. Even service people reside and work within a state (if not overseas) and as of today, the state’s laws apply.

I'm sure the DOD will fly service women who want abortions to states that permit it. And pay all expenses.

[MinorityRepublican]

Legally, he is correct because there is currently no federal law barring access to abortions.

Abortions without restrictions at VA facilities in states where they are banned?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

No, current federal law does not permit abortions on demand. It would be limited to rape, incest, or life of the mother, and only on military bases.

“No, current federal law does not permit abortions on demand. It would be limited to rape, incest, or life of the mother, and only on military bases.”

I would love to see the specific USC code section for that statue please provide it. The Hyde amendment only limits funding for elective abortions it in no way says the Fed’s cannot perform one. The Hyde amendment is also up for renewal every time the budget goes to reconciliation it can be dropped at any time simply by not including it in that reconciled bill.

There is solid legal ground to stand on for clinics to be put up on Federal soil of which military bases are. Just like a Embassy or US Federal base over seas the land a military base sits on is sovereign US Federal soil not subject to state laws. The Hyde amendment only stops funding so if a Federal private partnership is formed where private entities based out of legalized states grown leases Federal soil and brings in doctor’s from those states so they cannot pull their medical licence or federally licensed DHS doctor’s either would be free and clear of local state board licencing which is irrelevant on Federal soil. The Fed’s could just as easily bar local state officials and law enforcement agencies from accessing military property under the force of arms if need be. These MPs at the gate take orders from Washington not the state they are looking out into from Federal land.

The other way and more likely is that the military simply uses MACS flights to send service members, dependents and spouses to locations where they can get the healthcare.

I'm not going to look for the code section, but here's an article that at least discussed that codification back in the 90's. Seems like a generally well-written article so I have no reason to doubt it:

The lawsuits that will end that, or effect the benefits covered, will come when the DOD does not provide paid adoption expenses for the woman that does not have an abortion but wants to find adoptive parents. I think the DOD not doing that would be considered lack of “equal protection” of the DOD regulations.

The MP’s work and take orders from their CO, who takes his orders from the post commander. The post CO is usually a West Point O-6 on his last assignment.
