But I rise in support of our women in uniform serving overseas. This amendment allows women stationed overseas to obtain safe health care at military hospitals with their own money. If enacted, this amendment would reinstate Department of Defense policy that was in place from 1973 until 1988, and was reinstated in 1993, and then banned in last year's authorization bill. Our military servicewomen and military dependents deserve protection from foreign back alleys by allowing safe, legal, and comprehensive reproductive services.
