  • Requests the United States Congress to amend Title 10 United States Code Section 1093(a) to allow Department of Defense funds to be used for abortions in cases of rape or incest, not just when the mother's life is endangered.

  • Requests Congress to lift the ban on private funding of abortions at military bases.

  • Argues that approximately 100,000 American servicewomen stationed overseas lack safe access to abortion services, creating health and safety risks.

  • Contends that the current ban discriminates against female military personnel by denying them reproductive healthcare services available to civilians.
