Support our troops

Demand that Congress lift the abortion ban on female troops.

Did you know that the military won't cover the cost of abortion, even if the servicewoman has been raped? But the military does cover the cost of cosmetic surgery, including breast implants, nose jobs, and liposuction!

A ban on military abortions forces soldiers who become pregnant while serving overseas to seek abortions at private clinics and to pay for the procedure themselves, making it difficult and costly to end a pregnancy. Worse yet, the ban leaves women serving in countries where abortion is illegal - like Iraq and Afghanistan - nowhere to turn, effectively depriving them of freedom of choice.

Fill out the form to add your name to a petition asking Congress to lift the ban.

I found this link at another fine blog: The Fulcrum. Pay a visit. Leave a kind word.
