“I was in the Army Medical Corps when the original policy banning abortions in U.S. military facilities was instituted by Ronald Reagan back in the early 1980s. And I could best describe the climate in those hospitals at the time as a collective sigh of relief. While there were many people who were pro life, who objected to having abortions performed in the military facilities, there were quite a few people who were pro choice that I encountered who, nonetheless, took the position that they did not want to in any way, directly or indirectly, be affiliated with the performance of an abortion. Anyone who has ever seen an abortion can understand why I am saying that. Typically, at the conclusion of the procedure, the abortionist attempts to reassemble the body of the aborted baby to make certain that they obtained all of the products of the conception, quote-unquote. It is quite a grisly procedure, and I think a lot of people who perhaps maybe lean on the pro choice side would nonetheless prefer it be done elsewhere. I believe the current policy should be supported. This amendment should be voted down.”
