SIGN NOW: Vets deserve *full* access to reproductive care, including abortion.

QUICK SIGNATURE: Veterans and their families deserve full reproductive care.

Reproductive and human rights are under attack for everyone in our nation since the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade. This includes reproductive rights for veterans.

Veterans have been there for all of us when we needed them most and now it’s time to support them in return. Right now we have a chance to safeguard reproductive rights and services–including abortion–for our veterans but we need your help!

It is critical that we encourage the Department of Veteran Affairs to take their solutions even further by expanding the ruling to include abortion care for all veterans regardless of the circumstance.

In short, the VA needs to expand the rule because the current proposed rule states that abortion care can only be sought by those in an circumstance in which a person was raped, became pregnant as a result of incest, or could potentially die due to pregnancy or giving birth. Now, because this proposed rule is in motion, we have a unique opportunity to publicly share our thoughts on this matter as the Biden-Harris Administration is currently accepting comments on why abortion care for veterans is critical healthcare. This is where you come in!

Sign our letter that encourages the Department of Veteran Affairs to ensure access to abortion care and them to ensure reproductive justice for *all* veterans.

Dear Dr. Elnahal,

We greatly appreciate the Department of Veteran Affairs’ historic efforts to ensure that veterans and their dependents have access to the essential reproductive healthcare they need. We applaud the VA’s move to protect veterans’ access to abortion care especially during this critical time where abortion rights are being stripped.

The Veteran Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrated health care system in the country serving approximately 6.5 million veterans and their dependents annually and women are the fastest growing group in the veteran population. Unattainable access to abortion care creates hardships for many veterans, particularly women of reproductive age and their families, due to out-of-pocket costs associated with noncovered abortions, and career impacts related to unwanted pregnancies, meaning, women are being forced to choose between the advancement of their careers and giving birth.

As moms, dads, caretakers, and people who love someone who may one day need an abortion, it is critical that the VA take action to further protect the reproductive rights of veterans and their families. We implore you to take immediate action to drop the severe restrictions around the narrow circumstance in which abortion care can be provided so that veterans and their families can have complete and full access to abortion care services, post-procedure counseling, equitable and competent reproductive healthcare!

Thank you,
