OK and just so we are all on the same page here, can someone who is clued into the pro-WAR pro-life (that's kind of oxymoronic, doncha think?) explain this to me? I was on active duty from the mid 70's to late 80's and into the Reserves until the mid-90's, and not being female, I can't tell you that I remember anything about this...but it seems sort of sorry that we are denying these women who are SERVING and potentially going into Harms Way a basic right...abortion is such a shitty deal, and it's been too politicized and makes us worse as a society for all the polarization it causes. Now the military is using an old policy from the Tail-Gunner Ron era to screw our women in uniform a second time. Gee, maybe it'll work to have abstinence lectures for sailors who are deployed...always seemed to work when I was in, I guess that's why the line for Clap Call was out onto the weather decks when we left Subic and Phattaya Beach....they all caught it at the Christian Science Reading Room from the toilet seats...
