Most voters oppose abortion- and LGBTQ-related measures in House defense bill

According to Tuesday’s Data for Progress survey, which gathered responses from more than 1,200 U.S. adults between July 19-20, 60 percent of voters agree that bills focused on military spending should not contain measures that in some way target the LGBTQ community, including a majority of Democrats (67 percent), independents (61 percent) and Republicans (51 percent).

Another 63 percent of voters, including an overwhelming majority of Democrats and independents and a plurality of Republicans, believe U.S. service members who are transgender should have access to medically necessary health care, including gender-affirming health care.
