Dan Coats said the Indiana Republican is a a longstanding opponent of abortions at military facilities overseas and he is maintaining that the 1988 ban altered a policy that had been in place since 1982. It allowed female military personnel and family members overseas to obtain abortions at Mili Tail hospitals and clinics As Long As they paid for the procedure themselves. Abortion rights advocates in Congress argued that the ban discriminated against thousands of women overseas by denying them the same abortion rights under the Law that their Peers in the United states had. The Only options for women overseas they said were to risk seeking off base abortions in countries where medical care is often inadequate or spend a Large amount of time and Money to travel to the United states for the procedure. But opponents routinely painted the legislation As a Means of allowing Quot abortion on demand in government facilities. They said it violated the spirit if not the letter of the prohibitions against taxpayer funding for abortions because the military medical facilities and the doctors who would perform the procedures Are supported by appropriated funds. Before Federal restrictions were placed on the use of taxpayer funds for abortions in the late 1970s, up to 10,000 abortions a year were performed in military medical facilities in the United states and abroad according to information compiled by congressional staffers. That changed in 1982, when the defense department barred the use of tax payer funds for All abortions in military facilities except when the mothers life was threatened. But the military continued to allow female service members and family Mem hereto obtain abortions at overseas facilities if they paid for them until the current ban took effect in 1988. Defense department officials declined to comment on the Issue until they received and had a Chance to study the executive order. A but one official who spoke on condition of anonymity said a sudden surge in requests for abortions at overseas military facilities was not expected since the number of women seeking such procedures Between 1982 and 1988 was relatively Small. An average of 15 to 20 women a year paid for abortions in military facilities abroad Between 1982 and 1988, statistics compiled by congressional staffers showed.
