    The must-pass bill sets funding for the Department of Defense (DOD) as well as its policy agenda. The legislation was passed by a near party-line vote of 219 to 210. Only four Republicans voted against the bill, including Arizona Representatives Andy Biggs and Eli Crane, Ken Buck of Colorado, and Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

    Democratic Representatives Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico, and Don Davis of North Carolina voted in favor of the defense bill, which addressed hot-button issues such as abortion access and transgender care for military personnel.

    Biden wants to allow female GI's to have free leave (vacation) time to go to a State or Commonwealth that would allow abortion (and if I am not mistaken - the military would also pay for their transportation)

    News week calls this controversial! Yes, it is controversial when the libs want to pay for abortions!
    Lets pass the actual military bill - then worry about abortion.
