Senate Removes Afghan Allies, Reproductive Care Provisions
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The Senates National Defense Authorization Act, crucial for DOD funding, lost two key provisions: one for Afghan allies and another for reproductive care for service members. Representatives Sydney Kamlager-Dove and Sara Jacobs, who authored these provisions, express frustration as they had bipartisan support in the House. Kamlager-Doves provision aimed to make the Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts permanent, while Jacobss provision sought to cover reproductive services like IVF for service members and their families. The removal of these provisions comes after an Afghan refugees murder charge, which may have influenced the decision. Both representatives vow to continue advocating for their provisions in future legislative efforts.
