National Security Council spokesman John Kirby launched an impassioned defense of abortion funding for service members and their families on Monday, pounding the podium of the White House press briefing room as he called military access to abortion a "foundational, sacred obligation."
The instance occurred when Kirby was asked by a reporter during the daily White House press briefing, what about the Pentagon's controversial policy for it to use taxpayer funds to reimburse the cost of travel and care related to abortions was "critical to military readiness."
"Our policies, whether they're diversity, inclusion, and equity or whether they're about transgender individuals who qualify physically and mentally, deserve to be able to [serve] with dignity. Or whether it's about female service members – one in five – or female family members being able to count on the kinds of health care and reproductive care specifically that they need to serve," Kirby said.
"That is a foundational, sacred obligation of military leaders across the river. I've seen it myself. And it matters because it says we're invested in you, because you are being willing to invest in us. You're investing your life, your family's livelihood with us. We owe you that back in return," he said.
Kirby argued that anyone who signs up to serve – and potentially lose their lives while serving – has "every right" to expect the military to "take care" of them, regardless of "who you are, who you love, or how you worship or don't."

This jackass needs to rethink his stupidity. The U.S. military is rapidly moving towards being made up of illegal alien families from all over the planet. These people don’t want to abort their “anchor babies.” That’s a stupid thing for them to do.
Career public affairs officer. It would be interesting what Carl Mundy or Jeremiah Denton would have thought of a guy like this. I’m sure Mike Mullen is happy with him though.
Kirby believes in killing innocent, defenseless Americans.
John Kirby was an A@@HOLE as an Admiral and proved yet again that NOTHING HAS CHANGED after retirement.
Strip this POS of his military retirement, erase his career, make a non-person of him in reference to military service. HE IS A DISGRACE!
Well recruitment is down and pregnant soldiers can’t deploy so got to offer those abortions.
Where was all this concern for the troops in Afghanistan?
The dude looks like someone from the fatherland.
Really John, sacred? God have mercy on your soul.
What does Kirby Vacuum Cleaners and John Kirby have in common?
If he took his shoe off and pounded the podium with it he could be his true point across better.
“National Security Council spokesman John Kirby claimed state abortion laws were hurting military retention.”
Say the people caused the recruiting “crisis” by purging the military of patriotic conservative Americans and those that refused to get the clot shot. Then they turned the military WOKE and filled it with gays and transgenders.
They both suck?
The former US is now run by overt Satanists.
Voluntarily serving in the US military at this point is not service to God or nation, IMO.
Fetuses (human beings) have "every right" to expect their parents (or at least the state) to "take care" of them, regardless of "who you are, who you love, or how you worship or don't."
LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a very tenuous state of affairs for 9 months of their pre-born lives.
Goebbels and Mengele would be blushing.
adjective
connected with God (or the gods) or dedicated to a religious purpose and so deserving veneration.
Someone is very confused. God isn’t cool with murdering babies and Satan is not God.
“Our policies, whether they’re diversity, inclusion, and equity or whether they’re about transgender individuals who qualify physically and mentally, deserve to be able to [serve] with dignity. Or whether it’s about female service members – one in five – or female family members being able to count on the kinds of health care and reproductive care specifically that they need to serve,” Kirby said.
When do they have time to “serve” while doing all that.
I saw a young chick yesterday with a button on her backpack...it said “Abortion Is Normal”
