    And it’s fucking false too. Even before the repeal of RvW, federal funding could not be used for abortion unless it was a risk of life to the mother, or due to rape/incest. That’s it. That’s how it was 10 years ago, that’s how it is today. Tricare legally cannot cover abortions except for those circumstances.

    Now, the military is currently allowing those of us unfortunate enough to be stationed in Florida or Texas or Missouri or Alabama or insert-red-state here, to go on non-chargeable leave and a portion of travel related expenses are covered. Not the procedure itself.

    And fascist pricks like Tuberville and DeSantis are doing their best to claw just that much back. Because the cruelty is the point.
