Chuck Schumer OKs Vote on Pentagon Abortion Policy as Tuberville Blocks Military Appointments
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats would not block a
vote on the Pentagon's policy of paying for employees' abortion-related
travel, if it can end Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville's months-long
hold-up of military appointments. Tuberville recently came under fire
for defending white nationalists in the military.
