Supreme Court abortion ruling updates: WH warns of ‘nightmare scenarios’

Advocacy group "Not in My Marine Corps," started by former marine and Department of Defense civil servant Erin Kirk Cuomo, called on leaders to support servicewomen and families in areas where abortion bans have begun to take effect. The group has worked to raise awareness around sexual assault in the military.

The group is calling on leaders in the department and Virginia to:

• Push for "compassionate reassignment" policies to let active duty women (and families) currently stationed in states with trigger laws appeal for reassignment
• Guarantee service members in need of abortion will be able to cross state lines
• Put an end to the Hyde Amendment so military bases can provide more abortion care.

"We're already seeing in states that won't even recognize reproductive care and abortion in cases of rape and incest. So any service members that are stationed at those bases and their families, especially with the high rates of sexual assault [in the military] that we see, that's going to impact them," Cuomo said.

"It'll be interesting to see what DoD comes out within the next several days. We've known that this is going to be happening for months now. So they should have they should have been working on these policies," Cuomo added.

Because of the Hyde Amendment, the department's military medical program doesn’t regularly perform abortions, so service members would rely on providers in the state.

Earlier this month, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, introduced legislation that did not call for a full repeal of Hyde, but for a more tailored change in policy to allow military doctors on military bases provide abortion access for service members. There is a companion bill in the House.

"While states like New York will remain a safe haven for reproductive freedom, the reproductive rights of women serving at Fort Hood in Texas or other conservative states could be in jeopardy," Gillibrand wrote, introducing the bill.

President Joe Biden commented on states implementing abortion bans, vowing to act, the morning after the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights.

“The decision is implemented by states. My administration is going to focus on how they administer it, and whether or not they violate other laws, like deciding who is not allowed across state lines to get public health services. And we're gonna take actions to protect women's rights and reproductive health,” Biden vowed.

Asked if he thought the court is broken, Biden said, “I think the Supreme Court has made some terrible decisions.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the State Department will do everything in its power to ensure its employees have access to reproductive health services no matter where they live, vowing not to waver from this commitment.

Adding, "Under this Administration, the State Department will remain fully committed to helping provide access to reproductive health services and advancing reproductive rights around the world," Blinken said in a statement.

A man in a truck hit two women Friday during a pro-abortion protest outside the U.S. District Court Federal Court House in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and injured one.

Video on social media showed a man in a truck striking protestors, ripping signs as he drove and then hit two women who were crossing the street and ran over the feet of one woman.

There have been nationwide protests in the fallout of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a constitutional right to an abortion.

The Cedar Rapids police department is conducting an investigation.
