The New Jersey congresswoman and Navy veteran is introducing a bill to codify the Pentagon’s policy for reproductive care, a broadside against the Alabama senator’s blockade of military promotions.
Sherrill and I are seated across from each other in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill . Between us is a glass case full of military challenge coins , and, on a bookcase, wedged up against an assortment of books on national security and a copy of US Navy: A Complete History, is a flight helmet . Sherrill —unlike Tuberville , the senator from Alabama—was actually a member of the US military.
With little to largely no say in where they are stationed, those in search of reproductive care can find themselves in states where access is curbed or even entirely unavailable to them. “You get ordered to go somewhere, and you can’t say, ‘I don’t want to go to Corpus Christi. I’m having trouble conceiving,’ or ‘I have a high-risk pregnancy, and they have the world’s crappiest reproductive health care. I can’t go there.’ The military is not going to say, ‘Oh, okay,’” Sherrill says.
