Tommy Tuberville, is blocking the confirmation of key personnel within the military because he opposes the Pentagon funding trips to abortion clinics for members of the US military theSun theSundaily abortion Pentagon USA military WorldNews

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 10: Sen. Tommy Tuberville speaks to reporters in the Senate subway at the U.S. Capitol July 10, 2023 in Washington, DC. - AFPPIX: One US senator’s stance on abortion rights has become a major problem for the United States military, reported the German news agency .

The US Supreme Court overturned the right to abortion a year ago. Since then, abortions have been banned or only permitted with significant restrictions in many US states. Therefore, the Pentagon covers the costs if a trip to another state is necessary for an abortion. On Monday, the commander of the United States Marine Corps stepped down by rotation. However, his successor and previous deputy, Eric Smith, has not yet been confirmed by the Senate, so he is now only acting commander.

“We know that these holds are going to have a ripple effect throughout the department,“ said Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh. Tuberville’s behaviour sets a “dangerous precedent” that “puts our military readiness at risk”, she said.
