The next war is going to last about two weeks.
After that, everyone is getting drafted.
They are fully equal citizens.
But they are not close to being drafted. There is no draft.
They would just have to send in a little card to selective service. No big deal.
Feminism has only wanted the benefits of what men have, and none of the downsides and negatives. The have the vote, they have family court that destroys men in divorces, and they have special legal status in multiple ways in the law. They have total say whether a mans child lives or dies.
They cannot send in a little card?
Stunningly brilliant woman. Glad to see she is still going strong.
Why would they draft women when they aren’t even drafting men?
The end of the ongoing nightmare known as the Obama administration cannot come soon enough.
Well they’re close to making the register. They’re not actually going to draft anybody.
What is Hasidim going to do?
On the other hand, when the left screams about this, tell them either both sexes are the same in every way or they aren’t. If they are, sign up. If not, shut up.
Does this mean that the VAWA will get overturned so women who go into the military can be abused? Wow, women have it so easy. They have a fundamental right to choose and a fundamental right to not be abused. So, they can't be drafted because that violates their right to choose to not be abused. Of course, men don't have rights to not be abused.
Boo friggin hoo.
They all want to be “equal” until it comes to shouldering equal responsibilities. I say if you want to vote, you should have to sign up for Selective Service, regardless of your sex.
Well, just when in Hell are women going to stop voting for liberals?? If they don’t want to be drafted they need to think about their choices.
When the Senate Armed Services Committee took up its version of the NDAA, the chairman, John McCain, exercised his prerogative to add a draft-our-daughters provision to the bill. A motion by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) to strike that provision was defeated when 6 Republican Senators joined all the committee's Democrats to support the registration of women for military service. ...Just goes to show that the party platform is meaningless. Party members can freely run against it.The 2012 platform of the Republican Party declares categorically: "We support military women's exemption from direct ground combat units and infantry battalions."
Congress may draft our daughters but THEIR daughters will find a way out. You can be sure about that.
Equal rights, equal FIGHTS.
Feminists asked for this, and they’re going to get it, GOOD AND HARD.
I remember they were close to drafting girls some 40 years ago, too.
Won’t be fair until they include the other 57 genders (that’s at last count - Fakebook just recently added a new one).
Don't be ridiculous.
No one will ever be drafted again. "Registering" for Selective Service merely perpetuates a tax-eating bureaucracy with no purpose.
And no female person (karyotype XX) will ever be involuntarily inducted into the armed forces. Not one. Never.
The whole PURPOSE of female registration is to make resuming a REAL draft impossible, even in the event of dire national need.
"Congress is Close to Drafting Our Daughters" is a lie, and a stupid lie at that. Very disappointing from Mrs. Schlafly.
I don’t think Congress is close to drafting anyone, son or daughter.
Elected officials shouldn’t be making decisions like this practically in secret. The media has hardly covered this.
I’m a woman and don’t agree with it.
Men and women are just physiologically not the same, with men being about twice as strong on average and having larger hearts and lungs, to name but a few differences. Apparently, though, if all the difference between the sexes are ignored and one’s sex is declared to be “just a state of mind,” then it follows that both men and women should be able to engage in combat and be drafted.
