The White House has declared abortion a "Sacred obligation" of the military.
National Security spokesman John Kirby made the comments during a Monday press briefing, where he claimed individuals who serve in the military have a right to federal funding for abortion.
The remarks came in response to a question from RealClearPolitics reporter Phil Wegmann, who pressed Kirby on the administration's criticism of Rep. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., for holding up military promotions over aggressive far-left social policy.
"Why is the new DOD policy on abortion critical to military readiness?" Wegmann asked Monday.
Our policies, whether they are diversity, inclusion, and equity, whether they're about transgender individuals who qualify, physically and mentally to serve, to be able to do it with dignity, or whether it is about female service members, 1 in 5, or female family members being able to count on the kinds of health care, reproductive care specifically, that they need to serve, that is a foundational sacred obligation of military leaders across the river.
The military's embrace of far-left social activism, ranging from benefits for abortion-on-demand to radical accommodation for trans-identified service members, has jeopardized military readiness and driven recruitment levels to dangerous lows.
One of President Biden's first executive orders reversed President Donald Trump's policy that people "With a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria - individuals who the policies state may require substantial medical treatment, including medications and surgery" - were disqualified from the military.
