VA Abortion Transparency Act of 2024
The VA Abortion Transparency Act of 2024 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to submit quarterly reports to Congress detailing abortions facilitated by the VA. These reports must include the total number of abortions broken down by type (surgical vs. medication), location (VA facility vs. non-VA provider), patient category (veteran vs. dependent), gestational age, legal justification, and Veterans Integrated Service Network. The reports also must detail all related costs, including staff training, infrastructure, and funding sources (such as the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund), while excluding any patient identifiers. This bill directly affects the VA's reporting obligations to Congress regarding its abortion-related activities.
