House Republicans’ March Toward a Nationwide Abortion Ban: Attacking Service Members’ Access to Reproductive Care

Today, House Republicans voted for new, extreme restrictions on abortion care for 350,000 active duty women in the military.

House Republicans voted overwhelmingly to insert a far-right amendment that would restrict service members’ ability to seek and access essential reproductive care, undermining bipartisan efforts to strengthen health care for our armed forces.

House Republicans are paving the way for a national abortion ban with their vote on new restrictions for service members. 

The Republican Study Committee, whose members back a total national abortion banalready voiced their support for these anti-abortion restrictions last week.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“If it’s a day that ends in ‘Y’, House Republicans will vote for national abortion restrictions. They are more interested in attacking the reproductive freedoms of our country’s service members than ensuring our troops have the support they need, and voters won’t forget how wrong these attacks are when they head to the polls in November.”
