Retired military officials: Protecting abortion care keeps America safe
Opinion | Secretaries Louis Caldera, Ray Mabus, & Deborah James | Washington Post
Those who take an oath and wear the uniform will always do their duty and put their lives on the line for us. But those who defend America should not — while on the front lines or training to defeat our nation’s enemies — also have to fight for reproductive care and bodily autonomy. That is more than a matter of principle. It’s a matter of national security.
The Honorable Louis Caldera is a former Army secretary and former director of the White House Military Office.
The Honorable Ray Mabus is a former Navy secretary.
The Honorable Deborah James is a former Air Force secretary and former assistant defense secretary for reserve affairs.
