How Planned Parenthood controversy killed a US veterans fertility bill - CSMonitor.com
The Women Veterans and Families Health Services Act of 2015, introduced by Senator Murray last February, is a bipartisan bill that offers "fertility treatment and counseling, including through the use of assisted reproductive technology, to a spouse, partner, or gestational surrogate of a severely wounded, ill, or injured member of the Armed Forces who has an infertility condition incurred or aggravated while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces."
Tillis said issues such as veteran unemployment, veteran suicide prevention, and exposure to toxic substances are the most pressing problems for veterans. "It may make sense to add another half-a-billion dollars for this medical treatment,” he said, referring to Murray’s bill. “But not until we're absolutely certain that the promises we've already made are going to be fulfilled."
“Don't take something that should be above politics, our sacred duty to our veterans, pull it down into the muck of petty politics. It is not fair to veterans and their families who have been hoping and praying for the opportunity to have children.”
Murray vowed to keep fighting on behalf of veterans.

See what I mean about Republicans not caring about Veterans? The only support the GOP gives veterans is sending them overseas.
