The Biden administration is attempting to turn every VA into an abortion clinic.'
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – In what is arguably its most significant pro-abortion action to date, the Biden administration announced Friday that it will expand abortion on demand and pro-abortion counseling through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), making abortion available for hundreds of thousands of veterans and their beneficiaries, effective immediately, in violation of federal and state laws. The new rule includes a broad, undefined “health” exception that imposes abortion on demand at the VA even in states where abortion is illegal.
“Every week Pro-Life states are facing new attempts from Joe Biden to contradict the recent historic ruling of the Supreme Court,” said Texas Right to Life President Dr. John Seago. “The highest court in our country definitively asserted that each state should determine whether abortions are performed within their borders. In violation of Texas’ Pro-Life laws, the Biden administration is attempting to turn every VA into an abortion clinic. Veterans sacrifice so much to protect our God-given rights, the foremost of which is the Right to Life. Pregnant women deserve support, especially in the heartbreaking instances of sexual assault. Abortion is not health care; it harms our veterans and ends their children’s lives.”

unbelievable
VA hospitals are Federal property!.
They can get away with it. How many breeding-stock females join the military, get service connected disability and end up using the service? We’ve got other fish to fry.
All things considered, there won’t be very many abortions at VA hospitals. The baby killers are going to be disappointed.
Yet another reason to impeach Dementia Joe next year.
Yeah, I do not like it but there is nothing to be done.
The street in front of the va is state property.
Democrats are like children they had a tantrum when you tell them no
They’ll screw that up too.
“), making abortion available for hundreds of thousands of veterans and their beneficiaries, effective immediately, in violation of federal and state laws.”

Our totalitarian two-tier DOJ and justice system will get right on it.
And who f-ing paid for them? Not the Feds, that's for sure. We, the taxpayers are the landlords, and majority stakeholders in all of these "government in-name-only" buildings. We are the f-ing government.
Sets a real paradoxical problem for many other things if this is precedent policy.
“VA hospitals are Federal property!.”
A house is private property. Doesn’t mean one can violate state law in a house.
Then the attending staff should be arrested and charged with murder.
As I said at the time, by ducking the “personhood” issue, the USSC only delayed the inevitable. Sooner or later it will have to decide if a baby is a person or a lump of inanimate tissue.
The federal government cannot overrule state law.
Military hospitals were giving abortions before Roe.
I am curious about the Constitutionality of U.S. Army hospitals.
Are these considered to be ‘Forts?’
What enumerated clause gives the federal government authority to ‘own’ property for hospitals?
Yep. I use the VA and they improved greatly under President Trump, but they’ve slipped badly over the last 2 years.
