The best reason to reject this amendment is because the military medical personnel want you to. It has only been fairly recently we actually had a law enforcing the policy that has been in effect for a long time that we are not going to do abortions in military medical facilities. Our military medical personnel do not want abortions done in their facilities no matter who pays for it. It is very important now to support our military. Please reject this amendment. This is not helpful to our military.
