The following quote comes from an email I received this afternoon.  FYI, MHS is the Military Health System:

Message from the Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs

 (non-applicable portions deleted)

MHS Colleagues,

 ....The recent Supreme Court decision on abortion has generated a number of important questions from our beneficiaries and from elected officials. The law regarding abortion coverage in DoD remains unchanged by the court decision: where the life of the mother is at risk should the pregnancy be carried to term or in cases of rape and incest, DoD medical personnel are authorized to perform abortions, or the procedure will be covered under TRICARE in the civilian sector....

This is a measured response.

Given the explosiveness of the moral and ethical (religious) questions, the military has taken its stand on reasonable ground.

Many conservatives will swallow the bitter pill of judgement... though not prescribed to them by God... and acquiesce to the inevitable.

Time to move on.
