The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said in a news release on Friday that it plans to offer access to abortion, with the move coming after Supreme Court's June decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"VA will be able to offer abortion counseling and abortions to pregnant Veterans and VA beneficiaries in cases of rape, incest, or when the life or health of the Veteran would be endangered if the pregnancy were carried to term - in accordance with generally accepted standards of medical practice," said Dr. Shereef Elnahal, VA's under secretary for health, in the release. The VA said its employees may provide abortions regardless of state restrictions.
