"A federal appeals court in San Francisco upheld sweeping restrictions on insurance coverage of abortion under the Pentagon's health system, ruling Thursday [August 18, 2005] that the procedure would not be covered even if physicians had diagnosed fatal birth defects." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article discusses how the ruling "left intact the Pentagon's two-decade policy of refusing to cover abortions unless the woman's life is directly endangered."
