U.S. Military Promotions Continue to Be Blocked Due to Abortion TDY Issue
This is a tough spot the Pentagon is in because is they relent on the paid TDY for abortions this will signal to every other Senator that they can get what they want by following this same playbook:
President Biden is sharply escalating his criticism of Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, highlighting his blockade of military nominations and using him to criticize other right-wing Republicans he characterizes as extreme, obstructionist and willing to jeopardize the country’s national security.
Biden, who has often cited Republicans outside the congressional leadership as emblematic of what he calls their party’s radicalism, warned in harsher tones and with more specificity this week that Tuberville is undermining the servicemen and women who are putting their lives at risk.
“Something dangerous is happening,” Biden said Thursday night, speaking at the Truman Civil Rights Symposium. “The Republican Party used to always support the military, but today, they are undermining the military. The senior senator from Alabama, who claims to support our troops, is now blocking more than 300 military [nominations] with his extreme political agenda.”
For months, Tuberville has refused to let the Senate approve any senior military nominations by unanimous consent unless the Defense Department changes its policy of providing travel expenses for service women seeking an abortion. The policy is a backdoor way for the Pentagon to facilitate even late-term abortions, Tuberville argues, saying last week on the Senate floor that “anyone who calls themselves pro-life needs to stand up and be counted right now.”

Abortion is a complex topic with both moral and practical considerations.
I have an opinion but who cares.
So let’s remove abortion from this conversation and discuss the non-emotionsl facts.
Basically, the military wants to reward military skanks for being irresponsible sluts by giving them time, money, and attention.
Got it.
How about taking that same money and providing education why you shouldn’t let the whole barracks run train on you with no condom?
How about actively providing birth control so the train can’t get off the rails?
How about making abortion hard and expensive so the process is the punishment?
Those are just some ideas. I don’t know which is best.
I do know if you encourage bad behavior, you get more bad behavior.
And a wise military would discourage the need for abortion instead of encouraging it to seem… woke.
