Ben Cline’s anti-abortion extremism endangered national security
Allison Gil became pregnant as a result of a violent rape while serving in the U.S. military. She was able to get an abortion in Florida. But since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, the Biden administration has adopted a policy enabling servicewomen who are stationed in states that outlaw or severely restrict abortion to travel to other states that allow the procedure.

Sixth District Congressman Ben Cline is one of Donald Trump’s “Republican lapdogs in Congress” to which Ms. Gil refers.
Last year Cline endangered national security by joining an effort to overturn the Biden administration rule – and prevent servicewomen from obtaining abortion care even under the most horrible circumstances.

Cline boasts about project funded by law he opposed
Earlier this month, Cline posted glowingly on Instagram about the new Melrose Plaza in Roanoke, scheduled to open soon.
It will include a grocery run by Goodwill Industries of the Valleys.
The Roanoke Times reported:
The project will cost $30 million. The city has set aside $10 million in federal pandemic relief money to make Melrose Plaza happen and Goodwill has pledged $8 million in in-kind contributions.
The $10 million in federal pandemic relief was provided through the American Rescue Plan Act. What Cline unsurprisingly didn’t mention is that when ARPA was up for a vote in Congress, he and every other Republican member voted NO.
In other words, if the vote on ARPA has gone Cline’s way, Melrose Plaza likely would never have happened.
