Plain-English Summary
The bill would restrict the Department of Defense from using its money and facilities to provide abortion services to military members and their families, even in cases where abortion is legal under state law. This would affect active-duty service members, retirees, and dependents who currently have access to abortion care through military hospitals and clinics. The proposal has been sent to the Armed Services Committee for review.
