A Pentagon memo framed the decision as a response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade
(The Daily Signal) – The Department of Defense announced Thursday that the Pentagon will pay for service members and their dependents to travel to abort their unborn babies.
A Pentagon memo obtained by The Daily Signal states that it will establish “travel and transportation allowances for Service members and their dependents, as appropriate and consistent with applicable federal law and operational requirements, and as necessary amend any applicable travel regulations, to facilitate official travel to access non covered reproductive health care that is unavailable within the local area of a Service member’s permanent duty station.”
The Pentagon memo, which framed the move as a response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade, also said that it will develop a program to reimburse fees for those Defense Department health care providers who “wish to become licensed in a different state than that in which they are currently licensed” – suggesting that those who want to perform abortions in states other than the one they are currently licensed may do so on the Pentagon’s dime.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered that the actions outlined in his memo be executed “as soon as possible,” noting that all actions must be completed no later than the end of the calendar year.
“Our greatest strength is our people,” he concluded. “There is no higher priority than taking care of our people, and ensuring their health and well-being. The Department of Defense will continue to closely evaluate our policies to ensure that we continue to provide seamless access to reproductive health care as appropriate and consistent with federal law.”

Emergency SCOTUS appeal
The Pentagon needs to spay and neuter its liberals. Hell of a lot cheaper than flying them around looking for a baby killer clinic.
I wonder if the Lord God of the Universe won't just see that his end comes by his own words?
Isn’t it stunning how out of their way they’re going to butcher babies! We can only be grateful God hasn’t completely destroyed our nation - we certainly deserve it!
OErhaps that’s another reason we ended up with Biden and his dastardly team - God handed this nation over for how corrupt we’ve become.
Is this a great country, or what?
There is one consolation.
It’s almost guaranteed they’re killing future Democrat voters.
What about the HYDE AMENDMENT?
Obviously, the rats 🐀 don’t give a Shiite about it. What A holes.
Time to visit the supremes
Discharging would be cheaper didn’t they do it in the past.
