Tommy Tuberville is up against as he attempts to prevent his \u200dSenate GOP colleagues from siding\u2064 with Democrats to kill his protest of\u200d the Pentagon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/out-of-state-leftists-pump-millions-of-dollars-into-ohio-for-pro-abortion-issue-1\/\" title=\"Ohio receives millions in funding from out-of-state leftists for pro-abortion Issue 1.\">radical\u2064 abortion policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Using his position on the Senate\u200c Armed Services Committee, Tuberville has been slow-walking the military promotions that require\u200c Senate confirmation, in protest of the Pentagon\u2019s use of U.S. taxpayer \u2064dollars\u2064 to pay for Defense Department employees\u2019 abortion-related travel\u200d expenses. Rather than allow the committee to confirm a \u200dlarge number of military nominations \u2063\u201cen masse,\u201d the Alabama Republican\u2019s protest\u200b forces the body\u2063 to vote on each nomination one at a time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite possessing the power \u2063to bring these nominations to the Senate floor for a\u2063 vote, Majority\u2062 Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats have regularly attacked Tuberville, baselessly accusing him \u200dof jeopardizing \u201cnational\u200c security\u201d \u200band \u201cmilitary readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just Democrats smearing Tuberville \u200bfor fighting an unlawful policy \u200band defending the unborn. Last week, several GOP senators led by \u2062Alaska\u2019s Dan Sullivan took to the Senate floor to lambast Tuberville\u2062 for his protest\u200c and call for \u200dan end to the hold on mass-confirming Biden\u2019s military \u200cnominees.<\/p>\n<p>Amid reports that\u2063 GOP senators are colluding with Democrats to change Senate procedures to neuter Tuberville\u2019s protest, the \u2063Alabama Republican is now attempting to keep his Republican colleagues from betraying conservative voters. During a \u2062Tuesday Senate GOP conference, Tuberville\u200d distributed an informational packet explaining why so-called \u201csolutions\u201d suggested by some of his colleagues would fail to stop the Pentagon\u2019s extreme policy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Among these \u201cnon-feasible proposals\u201d is a resolution proposed by Senate Democrats that would effectively\u2062 allow the upper chamber \u200dto \u200b\u201ccircumvent [Tuberville\u2019s] holds for all but the most senior nominees\u201d\u200b by lowering the \u201cthreshold \u200cfor \u200dcloture \u200cto a \u2018majority of the Senators voting.&#8217;\u201d This maneuver\u2014 which requires the approval of 60 \u2062senators \u2014 would permit the Senate to \u201cconsider these nominees en bloc\u201d and allow the Pentagon\u2019s unlawful policy to \u200cremain in place.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Another proposal the packet explains is \u200dill-advised would be for\u2062 Senate\u200d Republicans to file a lawsuit against the Defense Department. As \u2064noted \u2062in the packet, however, it \u2064remains unclear\u200b \u201cwho would have standing for such a lawsuit\u201d and is \u201cunlikely\u201d a court would determine that senators would have \u201cstanding in such a challenge.\u201d More importantly, the proposal would \u2063\u201clikely\u201d allow\u2062 the Pentagon policy to remain in effect.<\/p>\n<p>Tuberville also insists\u2063 the suggestion\u2062 to limit his protest to solely civilian \u200dnominees is\u2063 non-feasible due \u2063to the small number of DOD civilians up for nomination and the fact that such a proposal would allow\u200c the agency\u2019s abortion fetish to continue.<\/p>\n<p>The packet\u200d produced by Tuberville also laid out possible resolutions to the matter, including the option that the\u2063 Pentagon revoke its abortion policy and the option that the Senate and President Biden approve the House-passed defense bill that rescinds the\u200d Pentagon\u2019s pro-abortion guidance. Tuberville also pointed out that the Senate \u2064could continue individual roll\u2063 call votes on nominees until \u200bthe DOD stops subsidizing abortion-related travel for its employees.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A lack of \u200bconsensus among GOP senators following Tuesday\u2019s meeting provoked ire\u200b from Sullivan, who ran to the press to whine about Tuberville\u2019s defense of \u2063the unborn and pledged \u200cto\u2063 once again go to the Senate floor to attack the Alabama\u200d Republican. While speaking with Punchbowl News\u2019 Andrew Desiderio, the Alaska senator reportedly dropped the f-bomb while claiming \u2064\u201cArguments\u2064 that [Tuberville\u2019s protest isn\u2019t] impacting moral \u2064and \u2063readiness\u2062 are not serious.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Republicans Ignore Facts and Their Voters<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no\u200c excuse for Sullivan and Co. \u2014 all of whom represent red states \u2014 going\u200b out of their way to attack Tuberville for taking a stand against the Biden administration\u2019s unlawful and demonic policy.<\/p>\n<p>As noted in the informational packet Tuberville provided to Senate Republicans,\u2062 the DOD\u2019s predictions that its abortion policy would \u201cimpact 4,000 service members\u201d turned out to be\u2062 false, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-republicans-sniping-at-tubervilles-dod-abortion-protest-are-cowardly-fools\/\" title=\"Senate Republicans Sniping At Tuberville\u2019s DOD Abortion Protest Are Cowardly Fools\">unofficial reports purportedly show \u201capproximately 12 service members<\/a> \u2064have\u200b used [it] to date.\u201d Even the Pentagon was \u200bforced to admit it doesn\u2019t \u201chave any data on women being deterred from \u200bjoining the military for fear of being\u200d stationed at an installation or base in a state or nation\u201d that limits the killing \u200dof unborn babies.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are these senators ignoring basic facts and the will of \u2064their constituents; they\u2019re\u2064 also shunning the voices of thousands of military veterans speaking out in support of \u2062Tuberville\u2019s hold. Most U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-lawmakers-move-to-block-crt-training-in-military\/\" title=\"GOP lawmakers move to block CRT training in military\">service members don\u2019<\/a>t join the\u200d military to inflict a political agenda on the American people. They sign up to\u200d protect their fellow countrymen and the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>If Sullivan and his GOP comrades bothered to listen to their voters instead of the D.C.\u200d consultant class, they might\u2062 realize their little stunt\u200d is viewed as nothing more \u2063than a total surrender on the issue. \u2062But that kind of introspection requires a level of self-awareness most D.C. Republicans don\u2019t care to possess.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What actions can conservative voters take to support Tuberville&#8217;s protest and ensure the protection of the \u200bvoices of the unborn<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ors on how to address\u200b Tuberville\u2019s protest has prevented any meaningful action from being \u200ctaken. While some senators,\u200d such as Texas Sen.\u2062 Ted Cruz, have publicly supported Tuberville\u2019s efforts to defend the \u200bunborn, others have taken a\u200b more compromising stance. This division within the Republican party not only undermines Tuberville\u2019s protest, but also sends a message \u200bto conservative\u2062 voters that their elected officials are not willing to take a strong stand\u2063 on \u200cthe issue.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It is crucial\u2064 for the Republican\u200b party to present\u200b a\u200b united front in\u200d defending the unborn. As the party that is often associated with being pro-life,\u2064 Republicans have a responsibility \u2064to fight for the rights of \u2063the \u200bmost vulnerable\u2062 members of society. In a time when abortion rights are being\u2064 expanded and\u200d defended at every turn, Tuberville\u2019s protest offers a\u2062 glimmer of hope for those who value the sanctity of life.<\/p>\n<p>It is disheartening to see Republican\u200d senators capitulating to the \u200ddemands of Democrats and \u2063the pressure from the media and interest groups. The unborn deserve champions who are willing to take a principled stand, even in the face of criticism and backlash. Tuberville\u2019s protest may be inconvenient for his colleagues, but it is a small price to \u2062pay in the fight for the sanctity of\u200d life.<\/p>\n<p>As Tuberville continues to push for his protest and\u200b defend the unborn, it is crucial that \u2064conservative voters rally behind him and support his efforts. Contacting senators and urging them to stand with Tuberville is\u2063 an important step in ensuring\u2063 that the \u2064voices\u200b of the unborn are heard and protected.<\/p>\n<p>This is\u2064 not\u2062 just about policy or politics. It is about defending the most basic human right \u2013 the right to \u200clife. The unborn have no voice, \u200cno \u2063ability to \u2062fight\u2063 for\u2062 their \u2062own survival. It is up to us, as responsible citizens and\u200d as advocates for the vulnerable, to stand up and\u2064 defend \u2064them.<\/p>\n<p>Tommy \u2062Tuberville\u2019s protest is a reminder that our\u200c elected officials\u200c have a \u2062duty to fight for what is right, even\u2063 when\u2062 it is unpopular. It \u200bis a call to \u2064action for all\u2064 Americans who believe\u200c in\u200c the sanctity of life. Let us support Tuberville in his stand\u2064 and demand that our leaders defend the unborn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defending unborn lives is deemed &#8220;controversial,&#8221; a disheartening reflection on our nation.
