The House voted on Wednesday to pass a critical defense policy bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a ban against gender-affirming care for some transgender children that further inflamed the politics around the must-pass piece of legislation.

Speaker Mike Johnson drew criticism for leveraging the National Defense Authorization Act to target medical care for service members’ transgender children.

The $883.7 billion measure was approved over the opposition of most Democrats, who rejected a provision inserted by Republicans to deny the coverage to the minor children of military personnel.
