For almost any group, the cost of abortion is always covered in the case of rape or incest, except for the women in this group: U.S. Department of Defense. The women in this group, if in the situation, must seek medical help by herself, along with paying for the treatment out of her own pocket. The Sun Times claims that this is unfair and unjust since a majority of these military bases do not allow abortions to occur, so a U.S. servicewoman must pay for a costly flight to come back to the United States to have these procedure done. If the military base does allow an abortion, the servicewomen must prove that she has been raped, which is quite difficult and take an emotional toll on the woman herself.
