Senator Tommy Tuberville: I Will Keep Fighting Joe Biden’s Illegal Policy Funding Abortion Travel

Although Senator Tommy Tuberville was unable to get the policy changed after several months of valiant efforts, the pro-life senator from Alabama promises to continue fighting.

As LifeNews reported, Tuberville ended his months-long holds on all military promotions. He indicated he will allow hundreds of promotions to be approved in one vote as opposed to making Democrats approve them one at a time.

Tuberville placed the holds on the nominations as a means of protesting Joe Biden’s abortion tourism policy that forces Americans to fund travel for members of the military who are ending the lives of their unborn babies in abortions.

Unfortunately, the holds did not yield the policy changes Tuberville hoped for, but he said today he will keep fighting.

“I couldn’t get anybody to negotiate,” Tuberville told Fox News Digital on Thursday. “Democrats cared nothing about negotiating, and they wanted to stick by the unlawful executive order.”

“I hated to drop the holds, but I didn’t want them to change the rules in the Senate,” he said. “You can only fight for so long and when you’ve basically run out of options, it’s time to change your game plan. So, now my game plan will be to work on it for the budget next year, and also try to get President Trump elected because he will change it back.”

Additionally, Tuberville said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., “changed the rules” in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) – an annual bill that authorizes funding for the U.S. military and other defense initiatives – by not allowing a vote to remove the abortion policy from the budget earlier this year.

“He changed the rules midstream and said, ‘No, I’m gonna make all decisions, I’m not gonna leave that policy in there that was in the House budget,'” he said. “So you just can’t beat somebody that’s got the ability to change the rules.”

Tuberville said there is a possibility the illegal policy will be the subject of a lawsuit.

“We’ve been working on that for six or seven months,” Tuberville said. “I think eventually, that will happen.”

Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life of America, responded to the news saying, “We’re proud of the stand that Sen. Tuberville took on behalf of the preborn. Every day he stood firm was a message sent to Washington that the lives of America’s preborn are worth defending, even if Joe Biden and his Pentagon don’t think so.”

Family Research Council’s Quena Gonzalez applauds Tuberville.

“By standing strong for nine months, Senator Tuberville has succeeded in drawing attention to the Biden Pentagon’s unlawful abortion policy. Courage begets courage, and a growing number of senators are vocally supporting his protest, like Senators Rubio, Vance, Marshall, and Lee, who even went to the Senate floor to give Tuberville a break when fellow Republicans took to the floor to try to force him to capitulate. But, as senators move into an election year, some pro-lifers in the GOP may be getting nervous.”
