Actually, according to the info I have read, since 1979, "abortion is not provided by U.S. military hospitals except in cases of rape, incest, or risk to the life of the woman". The Senate tried to add amendments to the 2003 Defense spending bill that would have allowed abortions on overseas bases. Sen. Patty Murray's (D-WA) amendment would have also repealed the ban on abortion in military hospitals in the United States. These amendments were eventually removed under a Bush veto threat. So while he did not ban it, he threatened to veto the repeals of these bans. All of his campaign literature stated that he supported the ban. Maybe we should revise the statement rather than eliminating it...such as "supporteed and upheld the ban on abortions at military hospitals".
