Depoliticizing the DoD
< < Go Back
In October 2022, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a memo outlining new policies—without established authority from Congress—to use taxpayer funding for time off, lodging, and travel expenses for elective abortions. To implement the stated goals of the memo, the Department of Defense (DoD) unilaterally released directed policies on February 16, 2023.
Put simply, these new DoD policies are taxpayer funding for an abortion. They are a clear violation of the Hyde amendment, a policy Biden claimed to support over most of his political career. Biden is failing in his responsibility as Commander in Chief by playing politics with our military in order to score points with far-Left voters.
Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to pass the Jackson/Roy amendment to the FY ‘24 NDAA.
THANK YOU to the Members of Congress who voted to reject the DoD’s illegal abortion policy.
See how your Representative voted.⬇https://t.co/lULApFJ4L2
