Mr. McCORMICK. Madam Speaker, the President is once again using the Department of Defense to advance the far-left agenda and pro-abortion policies.

The new policy to give servicemembers and their families paid administrative leave for up to 3 weeks and travel reimbursement to obtain out-of-state elective abortions is yet another extreme example.

The law is clear and vetted. No Federal funds are to be used for elective abortions. The military mission is equally clear: to be a lethal force to defend the innocents and to defeat those who would do them harm. This flies in the face of that mission.

I call on the President to reverse this policy, which is in violation of law and counter to the military mission.
