A majority of Alabama voters say Sen. Tommy Tuberville should end his months-long hold on military nominations over new Department of Defense policies concerning abortion, according to a poll exclusively released Wednesday to AL.com.

The Public Policy Polling survey of 577 Alabama voters commissioned by the liberal veterans’ advocacy group VoteVets also found Tuberville’s tactic of stalling the military promotions is hurting the senator’s popularity with voters.

Since February, Tuberville has blocked the promotions of general and flag officers over new Department of Defense policies expanding abortion access, including reimbursing female military members for travel associated with obtaining abortions if the procedure is illegal in the state they are stationed in.

Tuberville has claimed the DOD policies are illegal and can only be authorized by Congress.
