In a major win for America’s unborn, the Trump Defense Department officially revoked a Biden-era policy that authorized the use of taxpayer money to subsidize agency employees’ abortion-related travel expenses.
In a memo issued Wednesday, Defense Travel Management Office Deputy Director Sarah Moore notified the Pentagon’s Military Advisory Panel that the Biden administration’s policy of effectively using public funds to reimburse service members who traveled to states with pro-abortion laws to terminate their pregnancy is no longer in effect. The directive — which took effect Tuesday — was issued in compliance with President Trump’s executive order reaffirming the Hyde Amendment and “similar laws that prevent Federal funding of elective abortion.”
