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.

Admit it, doncha all feel downright safer with him in charge?
Me, neither.
Ask him “If a transgendered person is a man who is pregnant and wants to give birth but the former domestic partner resents this and demands the abortion be done, will the military fund it fully?”
Jerry Springer can sort it out if Austin chickens out.
Good Point. I have been in the VA system (health care), and; frankly I left it after 40 plus years as they will kill you. I
prefer $201 a month BCBS’s diamond plan. Two MD’s who had been VA MD’s told me to leave the VA.
“Legally, he is correct because there is currently no federal law barring access to abortions.”
Why does he “vow” this?
Infanticide is now a right in the U.S. Army?
Every “civilization” on earth that practiced infanticide doesn’t exist anymore.

So... a black man in uniform insists on killing black children.
True.
Suck it up buttercups.

Satanism is strong in the land of Sodom.
Hypocritical toad! Forcing out some of your best enlisted and officers (who can think for themselves and do not suffer from shrunken right side of the mind) with your idiotic DemPlanic (or is it PlanDemic?) ersatz-vaccination mandates.
They are also the same people that are vehemently against the death penalty.
They say they are worried that an innocent one might slip through the system.
I’m pretty sure they did. They put in a lot of checks and balances... and also the 2nd.
DOD Policy:
Killing Babies Yes: Taliban, et al. No
Oh yeah? Wait and see.
Yep, Lloyd Austin, Stupid Fat Token. Go back to Raytheon you POS
Fire his ass
Huh? I'm not the guy who wrote the law - I was just saying what the current state of it is. And if the law is changed, then DoD will have to change their policies as well.
“Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Vows Access to Abortions for Troops After Roe v. Wade Overturn...”
Is that for both the pregnant boys and girls Lloydie?
“Nothing for a wall or homeless Veterans though...”
Is the border wall still being privately constructed on private land?
