Abortion rights advocates are alarmed that the Trump Administration may reinstate an abortion ban at Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. This reversal would undo Biden's policies allowing certain abortion services after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Previously, the VA prohibited abortion under any circumstance, affecting counseling and care for veterans. The Biden Administration's new rule permits abortion counseling and services in specific situations. However, uncertainty surrounds an interim rule submitted by the Trump Administration, raising concerns it may eliminate these options for veterans, particularly in restrictive states.
If they fully rescind the rule, we would be going back to a complete ban on abortion for veterans through the [VA] health care system."
