Military Bill Expands IVF Services to Gay and Transgender Service Members

The Veteran Families Health Services Act would drastically expand IVF access for the military, extending services to unmarried couples and transgender members, using taxpayer funds and raising ethical concerns. Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., refused to provide a vote for unanimous consent for the legislation, which would have allowed the bill to sidestep the normal legislative review process.

COMMENTARY BY

A sweeping Senate bill would radically expand in vitro fertilization and other reproductive technologies for military service members without regard to their sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status, promoting the creation of children outside of marriage, including between two men and their hired surrogates.

Democrats pushed for a unanimous consent agreement Tuesday, meaning, if passed, the Veteran Families Health Services Act would sidestep the normal legislative review process. Thankfully, Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., refused to give unanimous consent.

In doing so, Lankford represented the well-being of families and children, rightly pointing out that this bill has been sitting in the Democrat-controlled Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs for seven months without receiving a single hearing, markup, or vote since it was introduced. There is no existential crisis regarding IVF access for service members, so why should a bill that Democrats have not shown serious interest in be fast-tracked in Congress?

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This bill, as we all know, has nothing to do with wokeness because military leaders have assured us all the military is not a woke organization. :bs:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
