Pentagon Ends Reproductive Health Travel Reimbursements for Service Members
The Pentagon revoked a policy allowing reimbursements for troops seeking reproductive healthcare across state lines, sparking political controversy and criticism from lawmakers.
Overview
The Pentagon has rescinded a Biden-era policy that reimbursed service members for travel to access reproductive health care, including abortions. The change, signed by Defense officials, ends previous provisions that allowed troops to seek necessary medical services across state lines, which were especially critical after the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade reversal. This decision has drawn immediate backlash from lawmakers, particularly Democrats, who argue it severely restricts access to essential healthcare for military personnel. Proponents of the policy change cite concerns over the use of taxpayer funds for abortion-related services, leading to a heated political debate.
