House and Senate negotiators released the text of a “negotiated” defense spending bill on Wednesday night that predictably allows leftists’ Marxist takeover of the U.S. military to go unchallenged.
Deliberated on behind closed doors by House and Senate leaders this week, the finalized draft of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 — which clocks in at more than 3,000 pages — permits Democrat-backed ideologies and policies remaking America’s armed forces to remain in place for at least another year. Among the most notable is the allowance of the Pentagon’s unlawful and immoral abortion policy to continue.
Earlier this year, the Defense Department (DOD) began using U.S. taxpayer dollars to pay for service members’ travel expenses to receive abortions. The enactment of this illegal guidance prompted Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville to launch a protest, in which he used his position on the Senate Armed Services Committee to slow-walk the confirmation of President Biden’s military nominees. Tuberville was forced to abandon most of his protest earlier this week after several of his GOP colleagues threatened to side with Democrats in changing Senate rules and allowing the upper chamber to sidestep his holds.
With Tuberville’s protest mostly finished, the 2024 NDAA remained the only avenue available to congressional Republicans to halt the Pentagon’s unlawful policy. While the original House version included a provision revoking the guidance, the “negotiated” 2024 NDAA draft released this week does not, meaning the DOD will continue using taxpayer money to subsidize service members’ abortion
