Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) expresses his satisfaction with the Pentagon's reversal of its policy covering travel costs for service members and dependents seeking abortions and reproductive care across state lines. Tuberville, who previously held up senior Pentagon promotions over the issue, claims the policy was 'illegal and immoral' and used taxpayer dollars to 'bankroll a woke agenda'.
Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville meets with the media on November 9, 2020 in Washington, DC. says he is glad to see the reversal of the Pentagon policy covering travel costs for service members and their dependents who must cross state lines to receive abortions and other reproductive care.
“I took a lot of heat when I stood alone for nearly a year in holding senior Pentagon promotions over this—but as of today, it was all worth it.”“The Biden administration treated taxpayers like their own personal Piggy bank that they could use to bankroll their woke agenda,” Tuberville said in the release.
“I took a beating for a year from the media, Democrats, and even some Republicans,” Tuberville posted to X on Friday.“Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, the Pentagon will once again be focused on lethality, not pushing a political agenda,” Tuberville said in Friday’s release.U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and 18 other Democratic and independent senators released an open letter this morning decrying the reversal.
“It runs contrary to a core goal of the Department of Defense — to ensure the health and well-being of all our service members so that our force remains ready at all times to protect Americans and keep this nation safe.”'s rescission of policy that allowed service members to get reimbursed for travel and transportation for non-covered reproductive care will harm the health and wellbeing of our service members and does nothing to support our military readiness.
