The Pentagon Shouldn’t Wage Culture War

The Biden administration has spent the past two years trying to inject politics into the military. In February this effort reached a new low as the administration put the taxpayer on the hook for travel and paid time off for service members, wives and other dependents to get elective abortions.

For 40 years, there has been a bipartisan consensus that taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay for abortion except in cases of rape, incest or a threat to the life of the mother. That is the law. The administration flouted it with a memo.
