Secretary of State Antony Blinken Launches Review to Ensure Employees Can Have Abortions

Kristina Wong 25 Jun 2022

Secretary of State Antony Blinken sent a message to State Department employees saying he has launched a review of how all employees can access abortions going forward.

“Team, I wanted to be sure you all saw the public statement I issued a moment ago. I know many of you may be concerned, saddened, or angry in light of today’s news. I have instructed Under Secretary [John] Bass to manage a review of how we can make sure that all of our employees can access the reproductive healthcare they need going forward,” he said in the message.

“We will be in touch in the weeks ahead,” he wrote.

The messaged echoed one coming from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who vowed to ensure that troops have access to abortions.

The statements come after the Supreme Court issued a ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, which had upheld federal protection for women’s legal access to abortions.

A State Department employee who provided the message to Breitbart News and wished to stay anonymous said, “Seems strange for the State Department to weigh in on Roe v. Wade, and assume all State Department employees were ‘concerned, saddened, or angry.'”

Breitbart News reached out to the State Department press secretary on Saturday but did not receive a response before publishing.

Blinken’s earlier public statement said the Supreme Court ruling had raised “understandable questions and concerns across the world.”

“As Secretary of State, I usually avoid commenting on Supreme Court rulings. But today’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade has raised understandable questions and concerns across the world and within our workforce,” he said.

“So let me be clear: under this Administration, the State Department will remain fully committed to helping provide access to reproductive health services and advancing reproductive rights around the world. And this Department will do everything possible to ensure that all our employees have access to reproductive health services, wherever they live,” he added. “We will not waver from this commitment.”

Blinken Launches Review to Ensure Employees Can Have Abortions.....by checking their fertility?

I'm  confident saying there is not a single cabinet member who has an effin clue what his/her job is, or how to do it competently.

Because Biden and his entire crew are imbeciles and fools, combined with zero leadership or direction, at this point everybody in government is simply doing whatever the hell they feel like doing.

Too bad you couldn't manage a review of how to get all Americans out of Afghanistan safely.

You would think all these hyper-educated State Department types would know enough to not get a bun in the oven...especially since the old honey pot is one of the earliest types of leverage against government officials, especially on international scenes.

Am I missing something? Was abortion outlawed? The other alternative is these politicians are just that incredibly stupid and are very bad liars.

Biden exposes much of how bad the socialist left traffics in lies and false promises, and what their utopia really is compared to the promises they have vended.  Easy to see how greatly their ho's love whoring, without conscience or concern for humanity.
