REVERE, MA — Today, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-5) released the following statement in response to the Department of Defense rescinding a policy that allows servicemembers to travel for abortion care:

“Just days after being sworn into office, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are assaulting the health and security of the servicemembers they swore an oath to protect. 

“We ask our men and women in uniform to put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms. They should expect their leaders to uphold their freedoms in turn. Sadly, it’s no surprise that Republicans are again choosing their own extreme agenda over everyday Americans.”
