Texas veterans and their families may have an option for abortion care, despite the restrictive laws in the state. President Biden says he will allow veterans affairs facilities to conduct abortions in the case of rape, incest or medical emergencies.
At a recent House Veterans Affairs committee hearing with VA leadership, Democrats largely defended the VA’s plan, while Republicans blasted the move as illegal.
“This is a workaround for the federalization — using the VA as a mule — to legalize abortion paid for by the federal government,” Ellzey said. “This rule making is yet another example of this administration, using unelected bureaucracy to make law where it has no power to do so.” “This is not a hypothetical scenario. There are Texas women who’ve been turned away with life-risking conditions, because the hospital was worried that provided this care that they would be subject to criminal penalties, a felony, in fact,” Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, said. “It’s a decision that’s in the best interest for protecting our women veterans’ health, both physical and mental.”
