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

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."

As we know, SecDef Austin is refusing to go along with the Supreme Court decision.

I saw this coming when the military started recruiting homosexual drug addicts.

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.

What I’m getting at is that the need for abortion can be avoided by people being more responsible about certain personal behaviors.

Another good reason not to have women in combat positions.

Yes I oppose it.

Does any active military get to “refuse the jab” regardless of where they are based(live)???
It’s the military, get it???

The open border is a matter of national security.

There will be no nation to secure if the invasion continues.

This bimbo beat up the Iraqis to defend her “right” to have an abortion? That is some really weird sh*t. They didn’t teach that nonsense to us when I was in the military. “Fightin’ For The Right To Abort” with a picture of an embryo painted next to it must have looked a little weird painted on the nose of an AH-64.

With c#nts like this in the front line military would anyone here think we could handle a major war?

If they could drag a 200 pound sack of potatoes across the ground for yards in a certain matter of time to prove they can handle situations of saving a fellow serviceman, then maybe.

I thought I had heard everything. What the %$#^ does the “right” to abortion have to do with national security?

This only goes to show that veterans can be brainwashed idiots too. Putting on a uniform is no guarantee that one will develop common sense. When I was in the military, I knew plenty of people that were total clods.

Wars would go back to being done in a few years if only our military leaders would let our soldiers at war "abort" the enemy at the same 1.3 million per year we abort babies in our borders.

It's sad, so sad, that we treated the Taliban with more respect than we do our own babies.

It is amazing to me the convoluted reasoning the Leftist’s are putting out to justify abortion.

I went to her website. It’s obvious that she is going with the sex appeal routine with her campaign. “Look at me! I was in the military.” The pre-puberty voters both male and female are going to love her!
