The Trump administration has moved to end a Department of Veterans Affairs policy that allows abortions in cases of rape or incest. The Biden-era rule overrode state bans, ensuring VA patients could receive abortions under these circumstances. The proposed change would align the VA with stricter state laws, permitting abortion only to save the mother’s life. Supporters of the rollback argue it restores respect for state sovereignty and protects unborn life. Critics warn it will leave veterans without access to abortion. Rape and incest are tragic, but can the termination of an unborn child’s life ever be considered a medical procedure that should be funded by your tax dollars? The administration has refused to used taxpayer resources to end life at VA hospitals. Instead they are protecting it.
