Sen. Tommy Tuberville has been holding up military promotions for months over a new Pentagon policy that gives servicemembers PTO to travel for abortions.
While the federal government is not paying for abortions, even offering time off to military service members and their dependents is too much for Tuberville. Since March, the first-term senator has zeroed in on this policy as. Because of Tuberville, the Marine Corps won’t have a leader for the first time since 1859. To put that in perspective: The Civil War started in 1861.
The Pentagon’s policy change—which was announced back in February and took effect in March—was a welcome change for servicemembers attempting to take advantage of the whole spectrum of reproductive care. Members of the military and their dependents “have to pay out of pocket for care, and they have to navigate the maze of state bans and restrictions in order to just get essential health care,” Jackii Wang, senior legislative analyst at the National Women’s Law Center, told Jezebel in May.
