Like a cancer, wokeism seems to be spreading across the country, devouring values and spreading toxicity, at breakneck speed.

It’s snaked its way into popular culture, medicine, the education system, and now the military.

In the progressive year of 2023, abortion rights are what the military claims as one of its highest priorities.

Not combat readiness, not developing weapons, not protecting the border: abortion.

“Why is the new [Department of Defense’s] policy on abortion critical to military readiness?” a reporter asked John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council.

A valid question, considering exterminating babies and combat preparation don’t appear to have any relation whatsoever.

But according to Mr. Kirby, they’re inextricably linked.

“One in five members of the U.S. military are women,” Kirby says, “and when you sign up and you make that contract, you have every right to expect that the organization – in this case, the military – is going to take care of you and they’re going to take care of your families.”

While Kirby believes caring for families and annihilation of the unborn are synonymous, Pat Gray finds it antithetical on every level.

“This is the most important thing in their world,” Pat says, adding, “If they can’t kill babies, they don’t know what to do with themselves.”

“Female service members … [must be able] to count on the kinds of health care and reproductive care specifically that they need to serve. That is a foundational, sacred obligation of military leaders,” Kirby continues.

“What happens when you get assigned to a state, like Alabama, which has a pretty restrictive abortion law in place, and you’re concerned about your reproductive care? What do you do?” he asks.

“You have the baby!” Pat Gray proclaims.

“Or you don’t get pregnant,” adds Jeff Fisher.

Kirby’s ridiculous argument stems from Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville’s protestation of taxpayer dollars funding the transportation of military women seeking abortions.

“Tuberville doesn’t want tax dollars going to pay for transportation if you’re stationed in a place that, God forbid, allows babies to live,” Keith says.
