VA ( Dept of Veteran’s Affairs) to Offer Abortions Even in States That Ban the “Procedure”

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to offer abortions to veterans, even in states that have banned the procedure.
……………….
Administration officials have argued that VA employees, when working within the scope of their federal jobs, may provide needed services regardless of state restrictions.

Under a proposed rule submitted to the Federal Register Thursday night, VA health care providers could also coordinate abortions with private sector medical offices in locations where the procedures are allowed, and provide counseling on options to all pregnant veterans and eligible beneficiaries.

Both the counseling and abortion procedures would be authorized as soon as next week, pending publication by federal officials and potential legal challenges.
