Service members, military doctors detail obstacles to abortion access

The end of Roe v. Wade puts service members and their families in a unique position. (Ben Gray/AP)
A month after the Supreme Court overturned the federal right to abortion access, the Defense Department and service members are still trying to pin down what it means for troops and their families.
DoD is working with its lawyers and Congress to figure out whether legislation or policy could reasonably bridge the gaps in safe, legal abortion access for hundreds of thousands of service members and their families, as states rolling back abortion access creates an extra layer of complication for a community that already has limited access to abortion.

Why is it that if I hit a pregnant woman and it kills her baby but not her, I am still liable for the death of the unborn baby.

You aren’t, necessarily, it depends where you live.
Maybe those laws are wrong.

Additionally, I find it sad that anyone wouldn’t be able to answer that hypothetical with certainty.

And if god isn’t real?
I don’t want to do the wrong thing, if only because it’s the wrong thing.
Additionally, there’s a correct answer to the hypothetical. It’s, “take the child and escape”.

Military installations are Federal property. An abortion can be performed on a military installation even in states that may prohibit them. Now I understand that the military installations do not have the physicians to carry out the procedure. They can hire contract doctors to go to military installations to perform the procedure. The bottom line is that it is the responsibility of the Federal government in this case to provide the care. Now with all that being said, personally, I believe that it should not be allowed unless it is in the case of rape, incest, or a medical need. But I'm not going to force my personal beliefs on to others.

There’s federal land in every state. As you saying that you’d support abortion clinics on federal lands in each state?

SGT (Join to see) it is up to the Federal government if they want to allow abortions on federal land. And I never said I would support it, except in cases of rape, incest, or medical necessity.
