Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama said he will place a hold on civilian and military Defense Department nominees that come before the Senate in response to the department’s “radical” new policy to provide transportation and paid leave for service members seeking abortions.
“The Secretary of Defense is following through with his radical plan to facilitate thousands of abortions a year with taxpayer dollars,” Tuberville told The Epoch Times in a Feb. 17 statement. “So, I will follow through with my plan to hold all Department of Defense (DOD) civilian, flag, and general officer nominations that come before the U.S. Senate.”
