Sen. Tommy Tuberville
Alabama (Republican)
Summary
118th Congress Sen. Tuberville has stood up against the extremist nominees of the pro-abortion Biden-Harris administration and against pro-abortion action both in the administration and through legislation advanced by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Sen. Tuberville has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants. This includes stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion, including abortion travel expenses, whether domestically or internationally, and pushing back on the administration’s extreme executive actions on abortion.
Throughout 2023, Sen. Tuberville brought national attention to the Biden-Harris administration’s illegal and immoral abortion policies. He has been a champion of the unborn and of longstanding legal protections against taxpayer funded abortion. Sen. Tuberville warned the Biden-Harris administration and Senate Democrats that if they did not roll back the Department of Defense’s illegal abortion travel policy, he would place a hold on all Department of Defense nominations. In countless speeches on the Senate floor and in hearings, Sen. Tuberville boldly exposed Senate Democrats’ and the Biden-Harris administration’s abortion extremism. He led a group of Senate Republicans in fighting the illegal and immoral abortion travel policy when he introduced and got a vote on S.J. Res. 10, a resolution under the Congressional Review Act that disapproves of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ illegal abortion policy. In multiple hearings, Sen. Tuberville called out the radical pro-abortion trainings being pushed in the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs. He gave a speech on the Senate floor in support of his resolution. Sen. Tuberville sent numerous letters to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the department stop its illegal policy and explain why it was initially implemented. Sen. Tuberville gave a speech on the Senate floor opposing the deceptively-named Equal Rights Amendment, which would enshrine unlimited abortion on demand into the United States Constitution. He also spoke on the Senate floor opposing the Biden-Harris administration's decision to move Space Command headquarters from Alabama to Colorado after Alabama’s pro-life law went into effect.
Sen. Tuberville introduced S. 4128, the VA Abortion Transparency Act of 2024, to require reporting from the Department of Veterans Affairs of abortions facilitated by the department as a result of the Biden-Harris administration’s illegal actions. Sen. Tuberville also pressed Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough in a hearing to provide more information about the department’s illegal abortion policy.
