“What happens if the woman wants to have the procedure done--the Senator has agreed that under present law she can request that--in a country that has a prohibition within their population? That eliminates medical service there. The Senator further says that you cannot use the military medical facility because of the fungibility of funds. Would the Senator be willing to say to the military, that you must guarantee that a flight be made available within a 3-day period, a 5-day period, to a U.S. military medical facility that will accommodate her need and to make sure that that trip can be arranged within a 5-day period? Would the Senator be willing to guarantee, since the Senator says he has no interest in stopping the procedure--his concern is about the fungibility of the funds--that we would guarantee that this individual would have access to an abortion, respecting the rights, by the way, of any conscientious objection by a physician who might not want to do it or medical personnel?”
