We are providing unequal access to women in the military when we have 109 installations in these red States that are banning all abortions.

Chairwoman Speier, we know that there is still more work to be done, and as we continue to review our policies, I commit to working with you and this committee, just as we have always done.

we have 102 installations right now on that map, 102 installations in the United States that will--in which the States ban, totally ban access to abortion care.

the uncertainty that the draft decision brought about was really challenging for us to navigate and it was deeply troubling.

Covered abortions is what is critical here. So, only for rape, incest, and life of the mother will they cover the cost.

As our military members defend our freedoms, we must defend theirs.

the VA has the most restrictive policy of any Federal agency on abortion and abortion counseling.

DOD must act now to provide the right resources at the right time at the right place so that service members and their families--who have no choice about where they live--continue to have access to the reproductive care they need, want…

It is wrong to create government-mandated pregnancies.

Military women are therefore understandably concerned about access to reproductive healthcare.

And to have anyone snuff out that opportunity for just a lack of providing services to our service members is repelling to me.

I think there is no question that there is a 14th Amendment violation to women serving at these 109 installations where they cannot access the abortion care nearby.
