The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to offer abortion access to veterans and eligible dependents in cases of rape, incest and pregnancies that endanger the life or health of a woman, arguing the change is needed after more than two dozen states banned the procedure this summer.

The move marks the first time VA physicians could perform abortions on federal property, even in states where it has been outlawed.
