NARAL Pushes Amendment Allowing Abortions at Tax-Funded Military HospitalsWashington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A top pro-abortion organization is pushing an amendment its supporters added to a Senate bill that would turn U.S. military base hospitals into abortion centers. It would overturn current federal policy against elective abortions done at the bases, which are run with taxpayer dollars.
Sen. Rolland Burris of Illinois won approval for attaching the amendment to a bill in the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The panel voted 15-12 for the amendment with all Republicans and Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson voting against it and all other Democrats voting for it.
While pro-life lawmakers hope to remove the Burris amendment on the Senate floor, NARAL is asking its members across the nation to contact lawmakers and tell them to support it.
NARAL bills the amendment as "ending a ban on military women’s ability use their own money to access abortion" and glosses over the fact that taxpayers are on the hook for the abortions because the base and its staff, equipment and supplies are wholly paid for at taxpayer expense.
"Right now, women who serve in the military in places like Afghanistan have nowhere to turn if they face an unintended pregnancy because of an abortion ban," NARAL claims, ignoring a wealth of medical and other support for pregnant women who decide to keep their baby.
