The House passed a controversial amendment that would undo the Pentagon policy helping pay for travel and offering paid leave for service members who need to leave the state for an abortion, paving the way for a party-line must-pass yearly defense bill.
It also passed an amendment that banned the Department of Defense from paying for gender transition surgeries and hormone treatments for transgender troops.
The amendment, led by Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, was approved 221-213. Rep. Matt Rosendale’s gender amendment passed 222-211.
