The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Tuberville has boldly exposed the hypocrisy of the American political establishment, which has rightfully condemned the appalling murder of infants in Israel but unjustly supported the illegal use of taxpayer funds to get rid of unwanted pregnancies. Now, both sides of the aisle have come together to blame him for stalling military nominations when all he is doing is being a righteous citizen seeking to ensure compliance with federal laws.
Pro-establishment narrative
Whether you agree or not with the Pentagon policy that covers travel costs for abortions for service members and their dependents, it's a matter of fact that Tuberville's hold on military nominations has unreasonably used troops and their families as political pawns while undermining national security. Republicans and Democrats mustn't allow a single senator to punish the armed forces whenever they have a policy disagreement.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 5% chance that elective abortion will be banned nationally in the US before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
