The U.S. Military health care system continues to be supported by the Hyde Amendment. Where in the case of rape, incest, or the mother’s life is at risk, service members are allowed to have abortions.

On Thursday one of the defense officials told the press that since 2016 almost 100 abortions were covered under the Hyde amendment for military personnel.

Members of the Military who needed an abortion outside of reasons under the Hyde Amendment had to seek out their healthcare providers to perform the procedures.

Service members now have 20 weeks to notify their commanders of their pregnancy. As opposed to the two weeks they had before the new policies.
