About this sermon
Some 9 million veterans and family members use the VA for services. Now a new policy by the Biden Administration will allow some abortions to take place at VA health facilities. Republican Senator Josh Hawley calls it criminal. He says, "I think no matter where Americans are on the issue of abortion, an overwhelming majority say you shouldn't spend tax money to do it, let alone the military. And now they're trying to use the military to force military providers to do this. I think it's really, really, wrong." In a statement, VA Secretary Denis McDonough says the new policy will nullify state laws, including those that ban or limit access to abortion. VA data shows there are some 2 million female veterans in the United States, and about a quarter of them are enrolled in VA care. Senator James Lankford wrote the VA secretary demanding an explanation, stating "Current federal law and regulation... prohibits the VA from providing abortion services. Section 106 of the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 directs the VA to provide women with general reproductive health care … not including … abortions."
