A man who has never served a day in his life is taking away Veterans' freedom to choose in cases of rape, incest or when the health of the mother is at risk.
Trump is putting millions of Veterans in danger.
And he did it during the holiday season thinking we wouldn’t notice.

Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
