                 REVERSE FUNDING FOR ELECTIVE ABORTIONS

  (Mr. McCORMICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McCORMICK. Madam Speaker, the President is once again using the 
Department of Defense to advance the far-left agenda and pro-abortion 
policies.
  The new policy to give servicemembers and their families paid 
administrative leave for up to 3 weeks and travel reimbursement to 
obtain out-of-state elective abortions is yet another extreme example.
  The law is clear and vetted. No Federal funds are to be used for 
elective abortions. The military mission is equally clear: to be a 
lethal force to defend the innocents and to defeat those who would do 
them harm. This flies in the face of that mission.
  I call on the President to reverse this policy, which is in violation 
of law and counter to the military mission.
