Pro-life organizations are urging House Republicans to repeal an existing Department of Defense policy that provides reimbursement for travel expenses related to military service members’ abortions. The coalition of nearly 50 pro-life organizations and think tanks believes the policy is not legal, and they have asked lawmakers to use the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to end the practice.
Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker agrees that the government should not be using taxes to fund travel expenses for abortions. She urges people to call their congressmen and keep this kind of funding out of the military.
Earlier this year, President Biden began using taxpayer dollars to fund all travel expenses for service members and their families to receive elective abortions. Currently, the law states that tax money can not be used directly for abortions in our military.
The argument from the Biden administration and the Left? We’re not paying for abortions directly, we’re just paying for the travel and the lodging for people to get abortions. Sick. This is the always conniving, twisted and manipulative logic of the Left.
We Americans should not just be spectators on this issue. Not on life.
While many rightly ask what Congress will do in response to Biden’s actions, we must ask what we will we do as well. It’s our money and they are spending it, like this. And just like slavery, this is not a neutral issue. You can’t just sit this one out.
The U.S. House of Representatives will soon vote on a massive bill to make all sorts of decisions regarding our military. This annual bill is called the National Defense Authorization Act, better known as NDAA. And there’s currently no pro-life language in the bill countering Biden’s deceitful actions. But there should be.
Each one of us who are pro-life should be calling our Congressmen and telling them that we need to do something here. They need to make sure they sure up what the law currently says.
