Military veterans call for Tuberville to end his protest on abortion access for service members.
Tuberville has said repeatedly he will not lift his holds until the defense department rescinds its policy or Congress votes its support – an unlikely scenario given Republican control of the House of Representatives. About 300 promotions have been held with the number expected to climb to about 600 by the end of the year., AL.com has reported.
At the Huntsville press conference, though, NAACP officials spoke of real-world effects of the holds on military members and their families while noting that Tuberville has not served in the military. “GIs do whatever they need in order to do their job properly and protect us. To , the honorable Sen. Tuberville is going to sit down and play games with his knee on their neck. So I would humbly ask the senator to please take your knee off of the men and women who was serving in the military. Take your knee off of their neck.”
“You represent Alabama,” she said. “You’re supposed to be for the people. But right now, I don’t see that. I need for you to let go of the promotions. We serve. We deserve it. We fight for our country. I took an oath to serve my country.”
