"Alabama Sen. Katie Britt: Prioritizing Life Over Military Nominees"
Alabama Senator Katie Britt expressed support for finding a solution to Senator Tommy Tuberville's hold on military nominees while also addressing the policy that is the basis of Tuberville's actions. Tuberville is opposing the Defense Department policy that covers expenses for women traveling for abortions in states where the procedure is illegal. Britt emphasized the need to protect life and find a pathway forward that aligns with the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer dollars from funding or facilitating abortions. She acknowledged the importance of military readiness and families but stressed the priority of protecting life. Britt also discussed her recent trip to Israel, calling for stronger sanctions against Iran for supporting terrorist groups, and highlighted the humanitarian and national security crisis at the US-Mexico border.
