Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) held a joint press conference to announce a resolution to overturn a new Veterans Affairs abortion policy on Wednesday.
Joined by Sen. Roger Marshall , Tuberville announced the measure to reverse the VA's September announcement that it would begin performing abortions. The Alabama Republican had originally introduced his measure on Feb. 8, but it will go to vote Wednesday evening. He described the VA's policy as"illegal" and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.“In a few hours, we’re going to vote to overturn the Veterans Affairs Department’s new abortion policy," Tuberville said.
“Congress banned abortion at the VA 30 years ago. It was unanimous. One of the senators who voted for that bill was Joe Biden," Tuberville said."We have never repealed this law. It is still on the books, and the administration needs to follow it. The administration doesn’t get to change the law without a vote in Congress.”
