White House advisor John Kirby defended abortion funding for service members and their families, pounding the podium as he called it a "foundational, sacred obligation."
"Our policies, whether they're diversity, inclusion, and equity or whether they're about transgender individuals who qualify physically and mentally, deserve to be able to [serve] with dignity. Or whether it's about female service members – one in five – or female family members being able to count on the kinds of health care and reproductive care specifically that they need to serve," Kirby said.

"That is a foundational, sacred obligation of military leaders across the river. I've seen it myself. And it matters because it says we're invested in you, because you are being willing to invest in us. You're investing your life, your family's livelihood with us. We owe you that back in return," he said.
