What it does

The bill repeals the federal law that currently limits the Department of Defense's use of its funds and medical facilities for abortion care. Repealing this section removes that restriction, so the specific limits it placed on military funding and facilities for abortion services no longer apply.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Military Access to Reproductive Care and Health for Military Servicemembers Act or the MARCH for Military Servicemembers Act .

2Restoration of previous policy regarding restriction on use of medical facilities and funds of Department of Defense for abortion care

This section would repeal section 1093 of title 10, United States Code, the provision that restricts the use of Department of Defense medical facilities and funds for abortion care. Removing that section would take away the restriction it imposes, restoring the policy that existed before section 1093 was in place. The section would also update the table of sections at the start of chapter 55 of title 10 by striking the entry that lists section 1093, so the table matches the repeal.
