Putting the Military Ahead of the Unborn
7th November 2023
Although Republican senators have for months muttered their disapproval of Tuberville’s strategy of holding high-level military promotions until the Defense Department reverses its policy, this skirmish was the first time his GOP colleagues had openly rebelled against him.
It won’t be the last. These same senators—and others—are plotting with Democrats to change the rules governing the Senate to undermine Tuberville and process the promotions. Watch for news of that in the days to come.
Why would Senate Republicans fight against one of their own, especially on something as fundamental as the fight to defend the unborn? Despite their espoused principles and campaign promises, life is simply not the top priority of many elected Republicans—at least, not like it is for their voters.
