ICYMI: At the end of 2025, the Trump administration sneakily implemented one of the strictest abortion bans nationwide. This ban prevents veterans and their families from accessing abortion care and counseling via the Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities unless they are on the brink of death. Over 2.1 million women veterans and thousands of transgender men and nonbinary veterans who may need access to abortion care will be affected by this cruel and unjust decision.
