(LifeSiteNews) — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) committed its first abortion last week, carrying out its promise to circumvent state pro-life laws by killing unborn babies in its facilities under certain circumstances.
In remarks to senators on Wednesday, VA Secretary Denis McDonough confirmed that VA employees performed the abortion at one of the department’s medical centers, NBC reported.
A VA spokesperson who spoke with the outlet declined to provide further details, citing patient privacy.
The news comes after the VA promised it would buck pro-life laws in order to deliver “abortion-related care” nationwide.
The Biden administration announced earlier this month that it was expanding abortion on demand and pro-abortion counseling through the VA after the landmark reversal of Roe v. Wade (1973), which had established a federal “right to abortion” until it was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in June.
The new rule made abortion available for hundreds of thousands of veterans and their beneficiaries, in violation of federal and state laws.
