"Senator's Anti-Abortion Stance Causes Military Promotion Delays"

Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is blocking military promotions in protest of a new Pentagon policy that ensures military personnel can obtain abortions after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Tuberville's objections are based on not wanting taxpayers to fund abortions, but Democrats and some Republicans are concerned about the potential national security repercussions of leaving the senior ranks of the military susceptible to depletion by attrition until the Pentagon either capitulates to Tuberville’s demands or he relents.
