Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement after Rep. Ronny Jackson’s amendment was included in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The amendment would end the Biden-Harris administration’s unprecedented promotion of abortion in the Department of Defense.

“President Biden has continually used the Department of Defense to advance his woke ideological agenda,” said AAF Executive Director Paul Teller. “Now is the time to stand firm for policies that enhance our armed forces and strengthen our national defense, while continuing to protect the lives of the unborn. We applaud the work of the House to keep our defense strong and keep Far Left policy out of the Department of Defense.”
