Another amendment filed by Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Montana, would prohibit the military from furnishing sex reassignment surgeries and gender hormone treatments for transgender individuals.
Since both House and Senate Armed Services committees passed their versions of the over $800 billion NDAA, amendments will soon be debated on the House and Senate floors.
“Over the last few years under the Biden administration the military has been used as their own little social experiment, they’ve pushed everything they can from their social agenda,” said Jackson on a Tuesday edition of Family Research Council’s “Washington Watch” with Tony Perkins.
“Whether it was CRT, DEI, whether it was transgender issues, the Green New Deal and all the money they’re spending on that, the transgender issue and abortion, they pushed all this stuff,” Jackson said.
Under a policy laid out by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the military has been granting paid leave and subsidizing service members’ travel to obtain abortions.
“It’s against the law to use money in the DOD to pay for abortions, so this is just a complete disregard for the law,” Jackson said. “So, what we’re doing is putting in an amendment into the NDAA to specify in no uncertain terms that money in the DOD will not be used to provide abortion services, it will not happen.”
