Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

I could not believe it when I read this article.  So, if you get pregnant and are in the military you can go to jail?  we don"t have to think long to know the likely outcome of these pregnancies! And then everyone is trying to make it seem like abortion is a woman's choice!

Then after thinking about it for a while I recognized that at least Major General Anthony Cucolo was up front about it because in fact, this is  what happens in many circumstances, they just do not come out and say it. How many jobs still, without saying it frown about pregnancy, how many colleges pay for abortion but not childcare, how many women are in a situation where they feel they have no choice but to abort….

a sad commentary…

US commander is threatening soldiers who fall pregnant on active service with jail.

A top US commander is threatening soldiers who fall pregnant on active service with jail.

Under
the new policy, troops expecting a baby face court martial and a
possible prison term – and so do the men who made them pregnant.

And
the rule applies to married couples at war together, who are expected
to make sure their love lives do not interfere with duty.

Usual US Army policy is to send pregnant soldiers home from combat zones within 14 days.

But Major General Anthony Cucolo, who runs US operations in northern
Iraq, issued the new orders because he said he was losing too many
women with critical skills.

He needed the threat of court martial and jail time as an extra deterrent, he said.

All troops under his command are covered by the extension to the
military’s legal code – the first time the US Army has made pregnancy a
punishable offence.
