House approves defense policy bill with divisive provision on abortion, transgender troops

The House bill contains controversial provisions like limiting abortion access for military members and prohibiting certain LGBTQ+ health services for the military.
Representative Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, a Democrat, opposed the bill due to its "culture-war attacks on women, LGBTQ+, Black, and Brown service members" advocated by "MAGA extremists."
The bill aims to raise pay for junior service members but also involves limitations on abortion access, medical care for transgender troops, and climate change initiatives.
