Women veterans’ bill includes possible abortion-funding time bombs | LifeSiteNews.com: The “Women Veterans Bill of Rights,” or H.R. 5953, due for consideration by the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs this week, bestows upon female military vets “the right to a coordinated, comprehensive, primary women’s health care, at every Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility,” among other prerogatives.
Pro-life sources on Capitol Hill fear that bill’s wording may create legal precedent for taxpayer-funded abortion by failing specifically to exclude the procedure.
The bill also specifies women veterans have access to a “Department of Veterans Affairs primary care provider” who can provide “gender-specific” and “preventive” health care needs, and provides the right to “request and get treatment by clinicians with specific training and experience in women’s health issues.” This, say pro-lifers, could be twisted to mandate the availability of abortionists at every Veterans Affairs health care facility.
