this was a bad plan from the start. Holding hostage the promotions of those who don't make policy hurts one but the pawns. The politicians pushing the issue from both sides aren't losing a dime.
I will say that IMO, paying for servicemembers to go out of state for abortions is BS. When servicemembers can get all kinds of elective, expensive surgery where they are so the noob doctors can "practice"?
Not that I am for it, but it is not against Federal law for the Federal government to provide such services on base, which is considered Federal territory, not part of any State.
The other part I don't get is contraception is free for military personnel. Military personnel are/used to be held accountable for their personal and professional conduct to the stupid level. This certainly falls into that category to me.
