Brave Senator Stands Against Military Abortions – Intercessors for America

Even though he is under attack, Sen. Tommy Tuberville is standing bravely for the unborn and for the Constitution. Praise God!

From Breitbart. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is taking heat from Senate Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), for his hold on general and flag officer nominations on the chamber floor in response to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s policy to allow military resources to be used to provide abortion.

The Biden-era policy was enacted as an apparent response to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization high court ruling. It allows female soldiers in states where abortion is illegal to receive up to three weeks of administrative leave and transportation allowances to obtain abortion services in different states. …

“I will stay here until hell freezes over. I am not going to be intimidated by a campaign of selective outrage,” he said. …

During an earlier floor speech, Tuberville offered his justifications for the holds.

“Federal law only allows the military to provide abortions in very narrow circumstances,” he said. … “Yet, the Biden administration has turned the DoD into an abortion travel agency. They did it using a memo. … Now American taxpayers are on the hook.” …

“In December, I warned the department that I would hold their nominees if they tried to force abortion on demand on our military,” he added. “They did it anyway. … I will continue to hold these nominees until the Department of Defense follows the law — or Congress changes the law.” …
