| White House claims that laws protecting the unborn hurt military morale and retention |
| 2023-07-19 |
| [Blaze] National Security Council spokesman John Kirby suggested during a White House press briefing Monday that new laws protecting the unborn around the nation along with possible changes to the Department of Defense's abortion policy, such as those sought by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), might hurt recruitment and morale for the U.S. military. Kirby also insinuated that the Pentagon's facilitation of abortion procurement amounts to a "sacred obligation." WHAT'S THE BACKGROUND? While Republicans in Congress seek to disentangle the U.S. military from pro-abortion initiatives by way of amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act, such as Rep. Ronny Jackson's (R-Texas) NDAA amendment passed last Thursday, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has endeavored to do so by way of senatorial privileges. NPR reported that since February, Tuberville has blocked every personnel move in the U.S. military requiring a confirmation, which amounts to at least 270. Tuberville noted in a July 14 op-ed that "over the last two years the Left has been relentless in turning the military from the world’s greatest killing machine to just another outfit for liberal social engineering." |

| #13 It's fair to say it's really hard on the morale of the murdered child. |

| #12 If there was any integrity left in Kirby he would choke trying to utter those words. He didn't, Q.E.D.! |

| #8 Russia, Europe, Japan, the US....you got to give people reason to look to a better future for their efforts to kickstart that. Sowing hate, envy, and demoralizing the population isn't going to be the key. |

| #7 they're able to force the military to allow it or require it. Meanwhile... Putin's health minister tells Russian women it is 'improper' to put education or careers before childbirth as he orders them to have babies earlier |

| #6 I've heard that in some cases, women will get pregnant to avoid the annual test then get an abortion after the testing window closes. Posted by: lord garth 2023-07-19 07:22 ...I never ran across that one, but USAF - except for a brief, deranged period in the 90s - just expected you to run a mile and a half once a year. Given the standards Army and USMC have though, I can't rule it out. And was thinking - I'm wondering how much of this assistance in providing abortion to military members comes from a Government attitude that they may not be able to force the states to provide them but by Marx, they're able to force the military to allow it and they're going to.

| #5 Let's just be honest shall we? It was a foking collosal mistake from the start. |

| #4 Back before the 70s, the females were members of the Women's Auxiliary Corps. If one got pregnant, they were honorably discharged and could receive VA coverage for care and delivery. |

| #3 One of the interesting and upsetting things about abortion in the military has to do with the physical fitness tests. I've heard that in some cases, women will get pregnant to avoid the annual test then get an abortion after the testing window closes. |

| #2 The military recruitment and retention catastrophe has a long list of contributing factors. Retention stats in business and the military generally stink because people tend not to provide accurate info on why they have decided to leave. I suspect that graphing time series stats of when issues began you would see large degradations related to the 2020 election and Biden’s Covid policy. Military retention graphs can be misleading because there is generally a delay between when someone decides to leave the service and when they can act on their decision. |

| #1 Laws protecting the unborn aren't what's hurting military morale and retention. The LSD Immorality, Oddity agenda Coup and Biden's handlers running the DOD pretty much like BUD-LITE are. Plus, I am sure many also see, that as this Political Coup falls apart, they would be called on to take arms against fellow Pro-America citizens. A VAST MAJORITY of fellow citizens who would be just peacefully voicing a return to common sense logic, basic moral standards, adherence to the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. |
