"I don't believe every woman belongs in the military."
I don't believe every man belongs in the military either. That's what the SSS would sort out.
If you think the reference to NOW was an attack, you have thinner skin than I thought. NOW and other groups pushed for the ERA but to my knowledge they didn't push for conscription of women. Hence, the cake and eat it too brigade. The only thing an ERA would have done is have made it easier to challenge the male only draft restriction. In that respect, I wish it would have been passed. But, we don't need an ERA for Congress and the President to do the right thing, and that is either include women in draft registration or get women out of the military altogether.
As far as what you posted in 43, it can all be reversed by Congress and the President. Also, I'm sure it's a quote - how about a reference?
Was that a Freudian slip, perhaps?
And, since you asked, here's the source:
