References the high incidence of sexual assault against military women as additional justification for ensuring safe abortion access

Directs Congress to acknowledge that over 365,000 women serve in the U.S. Armed Forces with more than 100,000 stationed overseas, and requires copies of the resolution be sent to congressional leadership and Hawaii's delegation
