evidence: WASHINGTON — The House narrowly passed an annual defense policy bill on Friday after Republicans added provisions to bar Pentagon spending on abortion and transgender surgeries — measures that were a nonstarter for Democrats. [...] The amendments, adopted Thursday, would ban the secretary of defense from paying for or reimbursing service members for abortion-related expenses and transgender surgeries and hormone treatments. [...] The defense legislation will eventually need to be reconciled with a version of the bill under consideration in the Senate. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., is seeking a similar measure to block Pentagon payments or reimbursements for abortion services, which Senate Democrats are unlikely to back.
