How funny. On this issue the DC dems are to the right of the fucking Pentagon.

    Let me get this straight:

    The United States Military has just come out and stated that they are intervening in the legal process by refusing to recognize laws

    This... This is the definition a coup, isn't it? The military apropos of nothing has just started acting as the executive branch of government outside of their legal jurisdiction with no legal justification or right for said authority beyond "We have all of the guns"

    This country is rapidly decaying and sliding into fascism way faster than I would have thought

    EDIT: Okay, I now understand that this only covers military bases on U.S. soil, and presumably the personnel that live there. This does not affect the whole country

      Seems like military bases are considered federal land, so they can do whatever they want since abortion isn't banned federally, it's just up to the states. Apparently the female service members will have to pay for the procedure, though.

      Kind of like when I could carry weed across the street of my public college campus in a city with decriminalization, but as soon as I stepped on campus the state cops could bust me.

      Internal border wars are fun and certainly healthy.

      Edit: I'd also appreciate it if libs stopped saying JUST BUILD CLINICS ON RESERVATIONS.

      Not your land, shitheads.

      no, Tricare only covers abortions at military medical facilities for rape, incest or woman's life in danger. They are saying that they will still continue doing that regardless of state laws but for anything else, they will have to seek treatment elsewhere, or now out of state.
