LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Senator, Kirby said the U.S. military -- as I said -- has a sacred obligation to murder children in the womb. That is -- that's what Christians across this country, faithful Muslims, you know Jewish Americans, they want to send their kids into the U.S. military for the sacred obligation of being able to ensure that more babies are aborted? That's where we are in the United States today?
...
Our own Jennifer Griffin today asked the Secretary of Defense if the current DOD policy on abortion travel is a violation of the Hyde Amendment, Senator. Watch this.
[CLIP BEGINS]
LLOYD AUSTIN (SECRETARY OF DEFENSE): They deserve to have access to non-covered reproductive healthcare and that's what this policy does. It's not illegal and we have made that point a number of times. This is a readiness issue.
[CLIP ENDS]
INGRAHAM: I mean, he should lose the job just for that comment. This is a readiness issue if you can't have an abortion in another state, our military is not going to be ready?
