"According to the Defense Health Agency's May 2021 Medical Surveillance Monthly Report, 3,926 service women had a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or abortion in 2020. That report offers no further data on the individual diagnoses, other than they accounted for 9,665 medical appointments or treatments that year.


The diagnoses have risen as more women have joined the U.S. military. In 2016, 3,563 service women experienced a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or abortion, accounting for 8,059 medical visits.


Women now make up nearly 20% of the U.S. armed forces."
