‘Matter of National Security’: Democratic Veterans, Advocates Call For Codifying Right To Abortion
DEFENSE ONE ^ | June 24, 2022 | JACQUELINE FELDSCHER

Posted on 06/27/2022 8:06:15 AM PDT by Gritty

One Army veteran running for Congress says the freedoms she fought for in Iraq are being “ripped away” by the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Ashley Ehasz, a West Point grad and former Apache helicopter pilot who is seeking to unseat Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick in Pennsylvania, said the decision is “a matter of national security” because of the impact it will have on the more than two million women serving in uniform.

"Let's be clear: women who are active-duty service members do not get to choose what state they live in, which means they could lose abortion access at the whim of any state with an abortion ban,” the West Point graduate said in a statement. “Now that women in uniform have lost their reproductive rights, our country's fighting force is hindered and our security is at risk."

LOL. They had numerous opportunities over 50 years to codify it and they didn’t. This is merely a lifeline they are using to keep from dying in November.

Desperate. Sold a line of garbage from the rodents,

Exactly whose freedoms did you fight for and what were they again?

...there are so many methods of birth control available, that it surprises me that we seldom hear about that aspect of things. There is birth control and also self control,...

Take a close look at the Pro-Death Abortion Crowd and you will see that they don't possess the intellect for these methods.

Thinking maybe she should have taken a Constitutional law class or two before running off at the mouth. She is making it very clear just how ill-educated she is. There are too many in Congress with mental infirmities as it is.

You can’t codify something that is not under your jurisdiction. Calls for that clearly indicate lack of intelligence, lack of civics knowledge and lack of clear reasoning.

Ashley Ehasz needs to back and review the oath she swore when she was a cadet and and officer. The Constitution is clear in the separation of powers and the Judiciary had no authority to make law like they did in Roe v Wade.

What the %$#^ does the “right” to abortion have to do with national security?

Hyperbole is the default speech pattern for leftists.

I may be naive, or uninformed, but, there are so many methods of birth control available, that it surprises me that we seldom hear about that aspect of things. There is birth control and also self control, which would avoid the issues which lead to abortion in the first place.

Yeah but...

An old work colleague of mine was a retired DI. He said no matter how many times they stressed it and told recruits, someone would get pregnant occasionally in the recruit classes.

Further, when women were first allowed to be on Navy ships some of them got pregnant too.

There is no protection from stupidity.
