President Donald Trump's administration is calling to remove abortion coverage from the list of medical benefits for veterans and their families, saying it's not needed. The Department of Veterans Affairs posted the proposed rule change on Monday and opened a public comment period on it that runs through Sept.

The Department of Veterans Affairs said in its proposal that it wants to ensure it “provides only needed medical services to our nation’s heroes and their families.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs suggested a rule proposal on Monday that would prohibit abortions at VA Department medical facilities. If passed, it would reverse the decision to allow abortions at VA medical sites that was established in 2022.
