The "MARCH for Military Servicemembers Act" seeks to restore prior policy concerning abortion care for military personnel. Its primary provision is the repeal of Section 1093 of title 10, United States Code . This section currently restricts the use of Department of Defense funds and facilities for abortions, limiting them to cases where the life of the mother is endangered, or in instances of rape or incest. By repealing this section, the bill would remove these specific restrictions . Consequently, it would expand access to abortion services for military servicemembers through military medical facilities and with Department of Defense funds.
