Sen. Joni Ernst and dozens of Senate Republicans proposed legislation to end the Pentagon's policy of reimbursing service members for abortion-related travel.
Sen. Joni Ernst was joined by 35 other Senate Republicans on a bill aimed at ending the Pentagon's policy of subsidizing abortion-related travel for service members.
Ernst added that the Hyde Amendment – language Congress has supported for decades that bans the use of federal funds for abortions – should also prohibit the Pentagon’s policy decision."I will continue to ensure the unborn and your tax dollars are protected," she said. Ernst’s bill says it’s the sense of Congress that the Defense Department"may not use any funds for abortions except in a case in which the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or in which the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest."
