Title: Military Abortion Amendment

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to adopt an amendment that would ensure that military personnel have access to abortion services in military hospitals.

Highlights:

Would not require public funding of abortions, as the individual seeking the abortion would be responsible for all cost associated with the procedure.

Would overturn the ban that currently allows abortions in military hospitals only in cases when the life of the woman is at risk, or in cases of rape or incest.
