A Catholic archbishop serving the military is speaking out against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ decision to provide abortion under certain circumstances.

The policy change allows service members and their relatives to get the procedure in instances of rape, incest, or when the life or health of the mother is at stake.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese of Military Services called the decision “at odds with the notion the military protects the innocent.”
