Department of Navy Stops Leave, Travel Reimbursement for Abortions

The Department of the Navy will no longer cover travel-related expenses or provide leave for abortions for Marines and sailors, according to a policy released Friday.


Under the new policy, service members will need to provide travel and leave expenses for service members seeking non-covered reproductive care that is not abortion, a change from the Biden era policy that also covered abortion.

Non-covered reproductive care, which means services not covered by Tricare, the military’s insurance, includes ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, sperm collection and processing, intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization. They are the only services covered, according to the NAVADMIN, signed by Acting Secretary of the Navy Terence Emmert.

The policy applies to both active and reserve sailors and Marines who are seeking the services or accompanying a spouse or dependent. Travel will be provided if the reproductive services are not local, while administrative leave must be provided, even if the procedures are local. Travel funding is the responsibility of the authorizing command, according to the policy.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

As it should have.  The military is not a civilian business.  They take an oath to the military and America which doesn't include the right to get knocked up and have taxpayers pay for it. **nononono*
