The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has moved toward offering abortion access to veterans but not without opposition.
was handed down in 1973 in a 7-2 decision, holding that the U.S. Constitution includes a constitutional right to abortion, despite the fact that abortion is not found in the text, structure, or history of the Constitution, and the nation went more than 180 years without ever noticing it existed. It has been one of the most divisive legal issues in American history.
Denis McDonough, Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs nominee, listens during his Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee confirmation hearing, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on January 27, 2021. House Veterans’ Affairs Committee ranking member Mike Bost said Friday, “Abortion is wrong, and Congress prohibited VA from providing it decades ago. This proposal is contrary to longstanding, settled law and a complete administrative overreach. I oppose it and am already working to put a stop to it.”
