Military bases? Yes. Nat'l parks? I don't know what they have for medical services outside EMT/paramedics anyway. Reservations? Maybe.
Further to National Parks - Samantha Bee actually had a segment on that very thing that I watched subsequently on DVR. She was interviewing an abortion provider at a makeshift lemonade stand she set up in Yellowstone asking "could you perform a safe abortion here?" and the provider said yes, absolutely with perhaps just a tent. Of course, she was being a bit irreverent, but was serious about the overarching idea. She was also exploring the possibility of dispensing machines for abortion drugs on federal land such as parks if those were at some point banned by states.
