. “[Tuberville] and I are actively opposing this. We need every pro-life senator supporting this effort in any way they can.”Abortion is no longer accessible in dozens of states—particularly ones that happen to house massive military installations. The Department of Defense is covering practical support costs, like travel and transportation, because military members and their families do not get to choose where they live.
At a Senate Armed Services Committee last month, Tuberville said the policy is allowing the Pentagon to legislate. “I want our military to be the strongest and the deadliest it has ever been but also want the administration to follow the law,” the former college football coach said. “As long as I have a voice in this body, Congress will write the laws, not the secretary of defense, not the joint chiefs.
