When asked about the Department of Defense policy on abortion being critical to military readiness on July 17th, John Kirby, State Department spokesman, said taxpayer-funded abortion travel for service members is "the right darn thing to do" and part of a "sacred obligation" to them. Rev. Dean Nelson, VP of Government Relations for Human Coalition, is part of a grassroots effort to overturn the new Defense Department policy on abortion. He can speak to how this is not about "military readiness” and tramples on the conscience rights of millions of taxpayers opposed to abortion.
