The sponsor's argument

Why Liz Krueger says this is needed

The current house of representatives of the United States has utilized their funding of our armed services to implement a radical social agenda to prevent active-duty members of the military who are residents of the State of New York from receiving abortion services when these services are legal in their home state. This ensures any active-duty individual in the armed services and their dependents, whether deployed within the United States or abroad, may receive these same abortion services they would normally be able receive in the State of New York.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
