One of our Senate allies needs your support! Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is taking measures to oppose abortions funded by our tax dollars.
Shortly after the Dobbs decision, Biden and his cronies sought out means to fund abortions through the federal government. Despite explicit language in the National Defense Authorization Act to bar any federal funding of these atrocious procedures, the Biden administration announced that they would pay for military personnel to travel across state lines to terminate a pregnancy. Then, on February 16th, the Department of Defense announced that family members of military personnel could receive these services as well. These actions are unlawful and dangerous for military families.
Sen. Tuberville has exhausted all other means. In July 2022, he joined twelve of his Senate Armed Services Committee colleagues in a letter to the DOD asking questions related to the agency’s claims that taxpayer-funded abortions will increase military readiness. After not receiving a response, they followed up again at the beginning of March 2023. Additionally, he has introduced a joint resolution to nullify the policy altogether, but it has failed to gain traction due to the Democrat majority in the Senate.
Because the DOD refuses to respond or take accountability for their actions, Sen. Tuberville is now blocking Biden’s defense nominees from moving forward until the Biden administration drops this egregious policy. Our Senators who sit on the Armed Services Committee can stand alongside Sen. Tuberville and join his efforts by doing the same.
Eagle Forum asks for your help in supporting Sen. Tuberville by contacting your Senators and encouraging them to join Sen. Tuberville’s efforts to protect life.
