Barry Moore: "Coach Tuberville is right" | 2023-11-06 | 2023 | 2023-11 | Republican | House | AL | Barry Moore | M001212 | barrymoore.house.gov | barrymoore | https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) wrote an op-ed for Yellowhammer News in support of Coach Tuberville's protest of President Biden’s Pentagon policy that forces taxpayers to fund abortion. See an excerpt below: "This week, a group of Senate Republicans challenged Coach Tuberville’s protest of President Biden’s Pentagon policy that forces taxpayers to fund abortion travel by demanding he end his hold on military promotions. Despite some of his own colleagues standing against him, Coach refuses to budge. And he is right to do so. Before this year, service members could not expect the taxpayer to foot the bill for their abortion and travel expenses. But in February, without the constitutionally required approval of Congress, President Biden and Defense Secretary Austin decided service members can have up to three weeks of leave and paid travel expenses for abortions. This flies in the face of the 40-year precedent of the Hyde Amendment, a previously bipartisan supported policy that bars taxpayer-funding for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening complications. If Secretary Austin wants to make laws, he should run for Congress. And until this policy change has been approved by Congress, it is nothing more than a scheme using military members as pawns to skirt the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade and gain political points with President Biden’s radical base." To read the entire op-ed, click here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
