Three-quarters of the Senate’s Democrats have sent a letter urging Defense Sec. Austin to continue to protect access to abortion care for service members and their families.

, including paying travel expenses for service members and their dependents to seek abortion care and allowing administrative absences without using earned leave to seek noncovered reproductive services. In addition, in most cases female service members now do not have to notify their command of pregnancies until 20 weeks.

On March 1, 12 Republicans, led by the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, wrote to Austin asking for evidence to support the readiness claims and criticizing the policy changes. “This can only be interpreted as a purely political action taken without consulting Congress,” Wicker wrote.

Monday’s letter from Senate Democrats calls on Austin to ensure the February policies are implemented and to consider accessibility of abortion and reproductive care when basing decisions are made in the future.
