Veterans Affairs reverses abortion services policy for veterans, stating 1992 law prohibits such care except in life-threatening service-connected cases
Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
The 1999 medical benefits package that remains intact, prescribed under the outline of a 1992 law, does not authorize abortion services because they are not considered "needed" under the statute. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
"It is without question that VA has the authority to bar provision of abortion services through the VA medical benefits package to veterans," the memo read, adding that the former VA leadership made its adjustment in favor of providing abortions in response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that effectively overturned Roe v. Wade. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
