White House Defends Pentagon's Abortion Policy

 

Daily Mail: White House says it is Pentagon's 'sacred obligation' to help troops get abortions: Tears into Republicans and says U.S. military will 'lose talent' if access to the procedure is limited 

* Spokesman John Kirby on Monday defended Pentagon support for abortions 

* The policy is under fire from Sen. Tuberville who is blocking appointments 

* But Kirby said it was essential to recruiting the best personnel 

Hardline abortion restrictions in states such as Alabama are having an impact on morale in the U.S. military, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Monday, as he delivered an impassioned defense of Pentagon policies. 

It comes as Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama, blocks hundred of senior military appointments in protest. 

He says he will not back down unless the Defense Department scraps its policy offering support to service members who need to travel out of state for terminations after the Supreme Court scrapped abortion protections last year.

It’s interesting to hear a leftist use the words “sacred” and “abortion” together. 1984 has got nothing on the Biden administration.

They were baby killers long before this policy.

the military posts are federal. This govt simply says a woman in such a post should have the right to abortion. If the state does not like that, they can always ask the govt to move the military post to another state. Why should a state impose its will on a federal reservation and its people?

Former President Donald Trump said in a social media post he’s been informed by special counsel Jack Smith that he is a target of the criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, a sign he may soon be charged by the special counsel.

“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump’s attorneys, including Todd Blanche, received the target letter from Smith’s team Sunday informing them that their client could face charges in the investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, two sources familiar with what happened tell CNN.

No Donny: it means you are given the right to speak to the Grand Jury. It does not force you to appear. Another instance where dumbness manifests itself.

I am old enough to have been stationed at a southern military base that was integrated while the state that the base was in had not yet been integrated and segregation was in full force outside the military camp. Should that state have had the right to tell the govt what to do ?

This is not about federal rights vs state rights. This is about using federal tax dollars to support abortion.

Dont try to mix the issue up with bullshit.

The issue is

Should our tax payer money be used to fund the killing of unborn children.

Unless you are some kind of monster, the answer is a most definite no.
