Overturning of Roe has 'significant implications' for Defense Department, but won't affect health care access for covered abortions
CNN
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will have "significant implications" for the Defense Department, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, but service members and other Defense Department health care beneficiaries will continue to have access to health care for covered abortions.
The decision will affect the readiness of the force, as well as having an effect on service members, their families, and Defense Department civilians, Gilbert Cisneros, the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, said in a memo.
Cisneros said the military health care network would continue to perform covered abortions. Covered abortions are those in which the life of the mother is in danger if the fetus were carried to term or if the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest.
