Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the gentlewoman's amendment, which would overturn the illegal DOD abortion travel policy. Current federal law prevents DOD from paying for elective abortion while permitting it in the case of rape, incest and to save the life of the mother. But the Biden DOD abortion travel policy forces taxpayers to pay the transportation costs for military members and dependents to travel to procure an abortion, for any reason, right up until the moment of birth. There is nothing humane or benign about abortion. Abortion is not healthcare, unless one construes the precious life of an unborn child analogous to a tumor to be excised or a disease to be vanquished. Regrettably, the pro-abortion culture of denial--a modern-day flat earth socity--continues to deny, devalue, and disrespect unborn baby girls and boys and trivialize the harm suffered by women. We must recognize the breathtaking miracle of the newly created life of an unborn child and that women deserve better than abortion. We need to care for and love them both. Future generations will someday look back on us and wonder how and why a society that bragged about its commitment to human rights could have legally sanctioned and aggressively promoted child beheadings, dismemberment, and abortion pills that literally starve the child to death. Don't force taxpayers to facilitate abortion on demand. The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Van Duyne).…
