HI HR238

Requests United States Congress to lift the ban on private funding of abortions at military bases

States that over 365,000 women serve in the U.S. Armed Forces with more than 100,000 stationed overseas, and argues the funding ban discriminates against military servicewomen

Claims the ban creates health risks and obstacles that civilian women do not face, particularly given the high incidence of sexual assault in the military
