The last thing our military needs is to influence our members of the military on whether to abort a baby or not. This decision further strains the recruiting efforts which are in drastic decline. The military medical organizations need not to be involved or have any focus on the abortion issue. There are other, more viable options for women who get pregnant while serving in the military,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Vallely asserts that the Pentagon has been under pressure to ensure abortion access is protected wherever troops are stationed.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure would be due to the recent overturning of\u00a0Roe v.
