Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee sent a letter to Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin addressing the Pentagon's decision to cover certain abortion expenses for service members.
"This new directive is a clear violation of the legislative intent expressed in 10 U.S.C. §1093 and related legislation," the letter read."This poorly drafted set of policies also creates a potential web of federally-sanctioned violations of state laws, particularly with regard to access to abortion services by dependent children."
The letter demanded a response from Austin by Mar. 7, and stressed that the committee would stand up to the Biden administration against any attempt"to use the military as an experiment to extend its pro-abortion agenda." "This is a clear violation of the Hyde amendment and multiple other laws prohibiting DoD funding of abortion. The Biden DoD has shown again and again that it will put abortion, CRT, climate change and all kinds of far left politics ahead of its national security mission. I will never stop fighting against the Biden administration’s attacks on the unborn," he said.
