The White House ripped SenTuberville's hold on Pentagon nominees over a DeptofDefense abortion policy as SenWarren prepares to push the issue this week. 'This political showmanship could have a serious impact on our military readiness,' PressSec said.
Tuberville has prevented the confirmation of more than 180 military leaders since March over the Pentagon's decision to provide leave and reimbursement for service members or their spouses who need to travel to terminate a pregnancy, according to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Jean-Pierre underscored how Tuberville's Senate Republican colleagues have also encouraged him to drop his hold after the Pentagon introduced the policy post-Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.Warren is the chairwoman of the Senate Armed Service Committee’s subcommittee on personnel, but it is unclear how she intends to persuade Tuberville to change his position, according to Punchbowl News earlier Tuesday.
Earlier this month, Tuberville asked the Government Accountability Office whether the Pentagon’s abortion policy can be congressionally reviewed.
