Defense chief slams Tuberville's hold on Pentagon nominees over abortion policy

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday said there will be "powerful effects" on military readiness if Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) continues to hold up more than 150 Pentagon nominees over an abortion policy in the Defense Department… 

"Not approving the recommendations for promotions actually creates a ripple effect in the force that makes us far less ready than we need to be," the defense secretary said. "The effects are cumulative and it will affect families, it will affect kids going to schools ... it's a powerful effect and it will impact our readiness."…

How far the GOP might go post-Roe on abortion, contraception and travel - The Washington Post

…Many states would ban abortion, of course, but how that is implemented would vary. And some might go significantly further: Proposals include criminalizing abortions (possibly even for the patient), eliminating exceptions for rape and incest, prohibiting traveling to other states for abortions and possibly even outlawing certain forms of contraception.
