Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 10, United States Code, to repeal the restriction on the use of funds and facilities of the Department of Defense for abortion care.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Military Access to Reproductive Care and Health for Military Servicemembers Act" or the "MARCH for Military Servicemembers Act", aims to repeal Section 1093 of title 10 in the United States Code, which currently restricts the Department of Defense (DoD) from using its funds and facilities to provide abortion care. By repealing this section, the bill would allow military service members to access abortion services at DoD medical facilities and use DoD healthcare funds for abortion-related medical care. This change would represent a significant shift in healthcare policy for military personnel, potentially expanding their reproductive healthcare options and ensuring they have access to the same medical procedures available to civilians. The bill is concise, focusing solely on removing the existing prohibition on DoD-funded abortion services, without introducing additional complex provisions or requirements.
