The Trump administration is no longer providing abortion care for veterans relying on VA healthcare, even in instances of rape and incest.
Through firsthand accounts, veterans describe the fear, medical risk and loss of autonomy created by the policy.
"Abortion is my right, if that was what I deemed I needed."
"No patient in America should have to go back and forth with their providers ... and for damn sure not with no politicians about what medical care they are allowed to have."
"We are all people who volunteered. We raised our hands and said, ‘yes send me.’ Healthcare is our right as veterans."
