evidence: The Pentagon will establish a travel allowance and administrative leave policy so service members can travel across state lines for reproductive health services, including abortions, according to a Defense Department memo released Thursday. [...] The travel allowance will provide service members funding to travel for reproductive health care not covered by the Department of Defense, such as non-covered abortion services and certain non-covered assisted reproductive technology services like in-vitro fertilization. The service members are responsible for the cost of the non-covered reproductive health care they receive. [...] Officials told reporters that this program is meant to "reassure" Defense Department health providers who are concerned they could face adversity for performing the abortions they're federally allowed to provide - in cases of rape, incest, or the health of the mother.
