Lloyd Austin Blames Pro-Lifers for DoD Weakness

 Austin: "Not approving the recommendations for promotions actually creates a ripple effect through the force that makes us far less ready than we need to be." The Pentagon should stop making taxpayers pay for other people to get elective abortions.

Why is the Pentagon in the abortion promotion business? The issue is not funding abortions themselves, for which federal dollars are limited to cases where the mother's life is in danger, or the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.

The Pentagon euphemistically referred to ensuring "Reproductive health care." In most cases abortion terminates health care.

Observed The American Spectator's Ellie Gardey: "According to a March 2022 Pew Research Center poll, only 19 percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all instances. In other words, 81 percent of Americans are not on board with the abortion-on-demand messaging," which the Pentagon is treating as policy.

The military needs not provide equal legal access to abortion.

The Pentagon should stop making taxpayers pay for other people to get elective abortions.

Better the Pentagon avoid America's bitter culture wars, especially abortion.
