The Pentagon won’t say whether military members whose abortion-related travel expenses are being reimbursed are obtaining the procedure “after birth,” according to Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala.

Tuberville is holding up hundreds of military promotions over the policy, which covers such expenses if military members are stationed in a state where abortion is illegal.

“It’s been rape, incest or health of the mom,” Tuberville said of the previous policy.

“But we asked in one of our hearings, ‘what months are you gonna go by for the abortion?’ They couldn’t tell us whether it was abortion after birth,” Alabama’s senior senator told Kimberly Guilfoyle on her show Thursday on Rumble, the online video platform favored by conservatives. “These people cant communicate, they have no clue what they’re doing. They’re just throwing something out there.”

Tuberville has held up nearly 400 nominations since mid-February over his contention that the policy is illegal.

“I’d really love to get these people promoted, but again, this is about executive overreach,’ he told Guilfoyle.

He hinted that there may be an end in sight to his blockade but did not elaborate.

“Getting closer. I’ve got some things working right now that’ll hopefully work by the first of the year,” he said.

Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., on Friday called Tuberville’s comments “utter nonsense.

“Did Kimberly attempt to acquaint Senator Tuberville with the criminal code? Because this is utter nonsense. But harmful nonsense,” she said. “Sen. Tuberville blocking these promotions is hurting our military.”
