Chuck Hagel's False Flag: Why Are Pro-Choice Senators AWOL in the War on Military Women Chuck Hagel's voting record in the Senate was an anti-choice crusade against access to safe reproductive health care. As Secretary of Defense, Hagel will be responsible for providing health care to over 200,000 female soldiers, military wives, and their daughters. The failure of pro-choice advocates to oppose Hagel's nomination raises question of why they are suddenly AWOL in "the war on military women."
