Senate Defense Bill: yes to women in battle, no to biofuels, yes to funding abortions

Last night, the Senate Defense Bill moved forward. The bill has not passed, it has to move on to the Senate floor. Even so, it seems as if women may get a chance to fight in the front lines while expensive biofuels may not be available to the Air Force.

Some other items discussed were; proposals to reduce the civilian workforce, cut aid to Pakistan (over recent 33 year prison sentence of Dr. Afridi), stop military detention on American soil, funding for M1 Abram Tanks, cutting over $500 billion in military budget, women in battle, and not increasing Tricare fees However, one issue discussed and proposed may leave some upset, funding military abortion.
