The Pentagon has canceled a competitive government policy that repaids the travel of the state where the service staff and their families are returned to the abortion and other reproductive health procedures.

The National Defense Travel Management Office of the Pentagon issued a memorandum on Wednesday and immediately ended the reimbursement.

This move has caused criticism from Congress women. It reversed a 2023 policy formulated by the then Minister of Defense Lloyd Austin after the abolition of the ROE V Wade. This policy provides paid leave and travel reimbursement for the troops and their families. These troops and their families have to cross the state line because they are stationed in abortion and other reproductive care states, such as fertilization in vitro, but not provided by the military provided by the military. Yes, not banned or unavailable.

At that time, Republicans believed that this was to avoid federal law and prohibit taxpayer's funds from funding for abortion. R-ALA. Senator Tommy Tuberville has held more than 400 military promotion in several months to protest the policy.

Tuberville praised the move and wrote: "President Trump and Secretary Hegseth has affirmed what I have been struggling since I arrived in Washington: I have been struggling: zero The dollar's dollar should be used for abortion. "

Memorandum of Pentagon includes the administrative order signed by President Donald Trump last week, which amended the amendment to prevent federal funds from being used to support abortion.

D-MA. Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Friday that the move made the troops and the country () not safe.

"Our service staff go to any places to serve our country bravely, because President Trump’s extremism Supreme Court overturned roeThey and their family members' station determine to a large extent that they get the opportunity to get key reproductive care. Walren said in a statement. "Now, Trump is turning to our service staff, especially our service women to score political points. This is shameful and will only make our troops and our country unsafe. "

National Defense Officers said that the number of troops that actually use this benefit and the number of raising people are very smallEssence

But former US Navy helicopter pilot DN.J. MP Mikie Sherrill said the decision may still endanger women's life.

"This is profound for me. I am in states such as Texas and Florida. If I serve there today, I will not be able to get medical care. Now, I have a daughter in the Navy." Shirley is in one. " Said in the statement. "When we ask our service women to serve our country globally, they dedicate their lives to their lives-they don't have to be in danger of life when they are stationed in the state where the state that is stationed in Texas or Florida.
