The Access to Reproductive Care for Servicemembers Act establishes leave policies for servicemembers seeking non-covered reproductive health care.
The Access to Reproductive Care for Servicemembers Act ensures that servicemembers and their dependents can take leave for non-covered reproductive health care, including abortion, without requiring disclosure to commanding officers. The Secretary concerned must approve such leave as time-sensitive and reimburse travel costs if timely access to services is not available near the member's location. The act prohibits any adverse action against servicemembers for actions authorized by this section and mandates privacy protection for those taking leave.
