Lawmakers voted 221-213 in favor of an amendment to the annual defense policy bill from Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, that would force the Pentagon to end this policy. The Defense Department put the policy in place shortly after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.
The House vote is a victory for conservatives who hinted that including the language in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was critical to their support for the entire bill. However, the language is certain to lead many Democrats to vote against the bill. …
In his defense of the amendment, Jackson argued the Biden administration’s policy is “in direct violation of federal law.” …
He cited an existing rule, the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds to perform abortions. …
The vote was part of a series of 12 largely Republican-backed amendments to the NDAA being voted on as part of a series. There are more than 300 amendments offered in the House in total. …
Another by Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., that would ban the use of military healthcare for gender transition surgeries or hormone therapies, passed 222-211.
Two amendments from Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, were aimed at cracking down on the use of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in the military, and both were approved. …

I am very encouraged by this news and I pray for many more victories regarding the saving of the lives of the unborn babies! Thank you Lord God for success in this instance! Amen and amen
yes I pray god will arise and continue to us his people. In Jesus name
Deuteronomy -20-4 “For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory. Father God many Intercessors have been praying Your words- In John 16- God I have told you many things that in him we can have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” God thank you for awakening the Representatives that are finally understanding what is necessarily favoring the Republican part to vote for a win, win. God says he gave us power and Authority to stand and speak what is a honest so that they may know when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Father we rejoice for these Amendments that gives hope , even though “the Biden administration’s policy is “in direct violation of federal law.” … Father God we place all of these amendments in Your hands as we pray asking you that our faithfulness and prayers will stand the test and the Democrats will not vote down what we need to see is a Victory. The Amendment needs to -terminate the Defense Department’s policy of allowing service-members to travel across state lines to get an abortion and reimbursing them for their travel costs. Also that we would ban the use of military healthcare for gender transition surgeries or hormone therapies, that passed approval. God, we need to prevent the federal government from oppressing the unborn and using Military funds to pay for the use of military healthcare for gender transition surgeries or hormone therapies. God I call down these words from Heaven “Those who are favored of God know that God is with them and that nothing can happen to them apart from His good purpose (Romans 8:28). They have His ear as they walk through dark valleys (Psalm 34:15) and know that their struggle to remain true to Him will not go unrewarded (Matthew 10:42; Revelation 2:10). In addition to outward evidences, God’s favor can be felt in the spirit. When we have the favor of the Lord, we rest in quiet confidence that our sins are forgiven. God let us pray read these scriptures to have Your wisdom so we can learn to stand against this Evilness that is being pushed by the Administration of Biden and the Puppeteers that have used, our unknowing of the takeovers that they are pushing. In the name of Jesus I declare Victory over all of these Amendments and the Leftists will be defeated.
Thank you, Father!! May each and every piece of legislation that values and protects the life of the unborn be enacted. In addition, LORD, I pray for a move of Your Holy Spirit among each branch of our military – a call to repent, enter the Kingdom, and then live in obedience to Your commandments – so that abortions become unnecessary. The moral fiber of our military forces has declined to a great degree, in my view, and needs to be restored – Godly standards upheld. Thank you for those service members who are walking, as best they know how, and with Your divine empowering, in righteousness. Strengthen them, I pray!!
Dear Father GOD,
Please allow all those who are in favor of abortion to suffer some minor but very painful mishap and let them then imagine the agonizing and excruciating pain inflicted on a precious little baby during the process of being aborted.
Beautiful!!! I give U all the glory & honor Father God for hearing and answering these prayers!!!!
“Are you encouraged by this news?” Heck yeah!
Dear Father and God Almighty, I pray MORE! More Godly legislators, More Godly decisions. And as these men and women serve in truth and justice…. I pray YOU will guide each one into MORE of YOUR GOOD PLANS for this nation. And most prayerfully, may the evil of abortion no longer be. It is Your power and authority that we seek. Thank You Father. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Holy Spirit. Amen
Now we have to pray it doesn’t get killed in committee and passes in the Senate, before it’s sent to the President for signing or vetoing.
Precious Yeshua,
We are so grateful for your interceding & stopping the passage of this bill that would give payment for abortions when our military would cross state lines.
Continue to protect the lives of our unborn & stop this murdering. Turn our eyes & heart back to you.
We seek your forgiveness for abortion & want revival to sweep across our nation. True revival that seeks you from our hearts and not just words. In Your Mighty Name Yeshua we pray. Amen & Amen
“True revival that seeks you from our hearts and not just words.”
Yes, Erilda! Amen & Amen!
