The House Armed Services Committee took a big and unexpected step toward making women register for the draft Wednesday night, as a handful of Republicans joined Democrats to back a measure that its own sponsor hoped would fail.

"He voted against his own amendment, arguing that anyone who favored it would be siding with the administration.
But Hunter’s gamble that committee members would shy away from forcing women into the draft backfired when a slim majority — including five Republicans — opted to endorse the measure by a vote of 32 to 30.
Maybe next he should put a gun to his head and see if the other ACME Useful Idiots in congress will pull the trigger on that too.
Give the women all the equality they deserve.
My daughters will not be participating due to a sincerely held religious belief. You do to me or them what you will, we must follow the biblical injunction to provide defense for our daughters. My daughters simply won’t be forced to register. God’s judgment upon an immoral people is happening.
Hey, that’s the ultimate micro-aggression!
I agree. My daughter’s religious convictions and faith are to not take arms against their fellow man to serve an Islamic serving president or to push pro-Sodomy laws on the world. Being an 8 year veteran of the US Army as an enlisted man and officer, I suppose my convictions and faith have now become the same as my daughters.
Somewhere down the line women are going to have to learn for themselves that the militant Feminazis and democrats have struck a Faustian bargain in their foolish insistence that there is no difference between man and woman.
Unfortunately it will be a painful lesson.
But then just about every bright, 'Progressive' idea liberals force on us does lead to suffering and pain and leaves the majority of us worse off.

For Selective Service to pass Constitutional muster, it must be gender neutral - or eliminated. I vote for the latter. I am amazed that a male has not challenged his loss of Federal benefits because of not registering as an Equal Protection violation.
Equal rights, equal fights!
Yes, and the Baltimore Ravens will take her in the second round.
Completely false! There in nothing in the Constitution that requires that we ignore the universally held distinctions between men and women.
In giant letters across the screen it said...
They might as well have had the words... VOTE FOR HILLARY!
Do it, force Obama to show his two faced self if he vetoes the bill. You want equality, this is a big step in that direction. All or none.
Sadly, that is the only thing that will cause the reversal of this insanity.
Disagree. Differentiate between the registration process and actual drafting, should it ever come to that. There are plenty of roles women can fill that would free up the male draftee for combat service.
Let there be equality across the land (be careful what you ask for, you just might get it). And if this drives a stake through the heart of maintaining a woefully out-of-date list of males at a cost of millions, so be it. And get those stupid PSAs off the airwaves!
Hey, if Bubba Clinton and Hussein 0bama can dodge the draft, then your daughter should be able to also - equal rights.
Feminazis want equality? this would give them equality. Also, registering with selective service must apply to all. Currently it applies only to males, making the law invalid because of discrimination.
Can’t have it both ways, gals.
What happens if someone has a “sex change” operation around age 18? A male lops his weewee off and calls himself a woman. Does he/she/it have to register for selective service?
