raise and support armies

That is not the same as saying that Congress must have an entity called "The Army".

A lower case "a" "armies" is a word that means "land-based fighting force."

The US Constituiton gives Congress the authority to have both land-based and sea-based fighting forces, and the overall point is that Congress has the responsibility and authority to provide for the nation's defense.

Murkowski's point is ignorant, in that there is no parallel with abortion. Where is anyone given an approximate authority such as to "provide for birth" or "obstetrical care" or anything close that could then be used to "provide for abortions"?
