(LifeSiteNews) — The Vet Voice Foundation (VVF), a veterans’ advocacy organization representing two million military members, has partnered with the abortion activist group The Brigid Alliance to put abortion advertisements outside Department of Veterans Affairs clinics in Georgia, New Mexico, and Virginia.

The billboards feature military phraseology such as “We’ve Got Your Six” (“We’ve got your back”) with logistical information on how to procure abortions. The Virginia billboard features the slogan and the message: “Confidential abortion support for service members, veterans, and their families. You make the appointment, we handle the rest.”

The Brigid Alliance was founded in New York City in 2018, and has become a key nonprofit in the vast network of organizations seeking to connect women in states with pro-life laws with abortion “services,” facilitating logistical, travel, and financial help—especially for those seeking later-term abortions. The group functions as a referral service but also arranges and funds travel by air, train, or car, as well as lodging, childcare, and other expenses to circumvent pro-life laws.

For many Americans, the costs and logistical challenges of getting to an abortion provider are primary barriers to access, and it’s only getting harder,” their website reads. We book, coordinate and pay for travel, travel expenses, and child care, serving as a single, trusted point of contact for every step of the journey. Wherever someone needs to get to abortion care in the U.S., we find a way to get them there – through direct support and in collaboration with our network of partners.

The abortion group’s partnership with VVF comes as a result of the Trump Department of Justice’s December 2025 move to reverse the 2022 Biden decision permitting Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics to perpetrate abortions. Prior to the Biden administration’s move, which came in response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade, abortions were not permitted in these facilities. After this three-year aberration, the previous status quo was restored by the Trump administration.

The new billboard campaign now seeks to advertise to potential abortion-seekers directly outside VA clinics.

“The main idea is to let veterans know that there are organizations out there who will help them get the health care they need, even though the VA has abandoned its obligation to take care of them in this regard,” Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of Vet Voice Foundation, told Military.com. Goldbeck also claimed that the VA’s return to the status quo “goes against the standard of care and makes it harder for veterans to access these services,” even though abortions had not been previously offered at VA clinics.

Indeed, as Military.com noted in January, “prior to the Biden administration widespread abortion access was not the norm. A VA spokesperson specifically cited the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 and how its medical benefits package excluded abortions and abortion counseling in most circumstances between 1999 and the early 2020s. The DOJ opinion did not alter the issuance of care to a pregnant patient in the midst of a medical emergency.

None of these facts have deterred abortion activists from claiming that this return to the status quo is an unprecedented attack on the “right” to kill a human being in the womb. “The VA’s new policy strips veterans of access to essential reproductive health care and leaves many with no option but to travel long distances or go without care altogether,” Serra Sippel, executive director of The Brigid Alliance, told Military.com. “At The Brigid Alliance, 8% of our clients last year were U.S. veterans, military members or their families.

Again: This policy is not new. The Biden policy, which was a blatant attempt to circumvent state-level pro-life protections, was new. But abortion activist groups are determined to ensure that regardless of the law, babies are killed—even if they have to advertise abortion outside clinics that do not perpetrate abortions. As The Brigid Alliance states on their website: “We get people to abortion care, whatever it takes.
