Veterans Affairs officials on Friday issued new memos clarifying the process for staffers to request religious exemptions to providing abortion-related services at department facilities but still emphasizing the importance of the resources as part of veterans’ array of medical options.
“Physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students may, for any reason, opt out of performing induced abortions, receiving or providing training in the performance of induced abortions, providing referrals for such training or such abortions, or making arrangements for training or performance of induced abortions,” a fact sheet accompanying the new guidelines stated.

As someone who could always count on the Catholic girls to have a condom in my teen dating days, I tend to snicker at religious beliefs when used as an excuse to do or not do something.

PV2 Scott Mollette Doesn't matter in first or second trimester. It's a growth until then.
