He will NOT be appointing officials for an organization that kills people until the government stops allowing abortions. Just let the logic sink in for a while. The guy's a POS, and nobody should be surprised that a single issue candidate is only interested in a single issue.

...in an effort to force the Biden administration's defense department to rescind a policy of leave and expense reimbursement for service members and their dependents traveling for abortions.

I can only assume this is for bases that don't have the means to just do it themselves. I was a surgical tech in the Air Force, and every hospital I was stationed at provided abortion services.

The VA does, too.

Cuz abortion services ARE FUCKING HEALTHCARE. You want to destroy a service member's mission readiness? Give them a kid they can't support.

You don't want to pay service members to travel for abortions? Fine. Fine. Equip and staff every single military base with an OBGYN clinic w/ surgical capabilities. Don't want to give them med leave to recover from an abortion? Fucking FINE. Schedule a uteroscopy and biopsy along with it so we can throw in a cancer screen, nab any polyps, ablate any endometriosis, etc; and give them extra leave for those, cuz damn was that one a bleeder! She'll need extra time to recover for sure!!

Do the same at VAs, cuz on federal facilities, state law can eat a bag of dicks.

Then declare a state of emergency in the Y'all Qaeda infested regions of the US on the basis of denied healthcare leading to the current and worsening humanitarian crisis; and in doing so, enabling the VA to provide abortion services to non-veterans under section §1784 of title 38, United States Code.

This dystopian GOP shit is maddening. We need to stop trying to argue with it, and start finding ways to just work around it. Fuck em.

Tuberville is a complete imbecile. That’s not a baseless ad-hominem attack - he’s established a solid, bipartisan reputation in the Senate as the densest, dumbest motherfucker who’s been elected to that legislative body in a long, long time.

We should be so lucky to have someone on the left in Congress with a political project they believed in so much that they would do something like this.

From the news it appears that the USA has a political system where fairly important things can be shut down by just a single person. It also appears that every time this happens that the single person is a monumental asshole. Is there any reasonable explanation for this? I am guessing no but it is still happening and fairly often....

I wonder how quickly Tommy Tuberville would have driven one of his sons' girlfriends to an abortion clinic if they got her pregnant in high school...

fucking terrorist

How does this guy remember how to breathe every day?

Time to make Alabama hurt.

We need legislation to prevent this type of government meddling. Just like with the filibuster. Asshole.
