President Donald Trump’s executive order that ended the use of taxpayer dollars “to fund or promote elective abortion” will change how female military service members pursue getting the procedure.
The Department of Defense reversed the abortion policy implemented by the Biden administration. This means the government will no longer fund the travel of service members who need to cross state lines for an abortion. The policy change went into effect immediately after it was announced last week, according to Military Times.
