The U.S. Senate advanced a bill requiring young American women to sign up for the military draft that is expected to pass despite opposition from Senate conservatives.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the 2022 fiscal year advanced in the Senate on Wednesday by an 84-15 vote.
Considered a must-pass, the annual defense policy bill this year contains a provision that would require “all Americans” between the ages of 18 and 26, including young women, to register with the Selective Service System.
Registrants could be called up for military service in the event of a wartime draft.
Among those who voted against bringing the bill to the floor for debate were Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ted Cruz of Texas, and Josh Hawley of Missouri.
Hawley has blasted the legislation for “forc[ing] our daughters, mothers, wives, and sisters to fight our wars,” and earlier this month introduced an amendment to strip out the provision forcing women to sign up for military conscription.
“Volunteering for military service is not the same as being forced into it, and no woman should be compelled to do so,” Hawley said.
To date, Hawley has been joined by 10 co-sponsors who also want to see the clause scrubbed from the final bill before it goes to the president’s desk to be signed…

Phyllis Schlafly fought against the equal rights amendment. She said they will draft your daughters — they called her crazy.
She recognized that it was just part of the agenda to destroy the family.
Loved her… she was a true warrior against the left.
until then i’m for it
they can be placed in noncombat roles so the guys can fight and keep infantry units cohension and focus high
Indeed she was. And very intelligent and Patriotic.
She worked the night shift at St. Louis Ordinance firing and testing machine guns during WWII. Got off work and went to attend her classes at Washington University.
I really respected her too.
Sorry, I have to disagree. Either Selective Service needs to be abolished for all, or all must be required to sign up. Period.
The Feds have long since admitted that the draft is never going to return, if for no other reason than it’s a giant political land mine after Vietnam.
I don’t have a problem with this. With the constant howling for “equity” and “fairness,” well… now’s the time to come off the bench, step up and experience that “fairness.”
The way we’re going, its going to be a model like what they have in NK.
Deep State’s very real war on women continues apace.
Kamala Harris is one public dementia meltdown from the presidency and Nancy Pelosi controls congress. If women can start a war and draft soldiers to fight it, why should they only be men?
Raising children isn’t such a high priority for the modern empowered woman that it obviously exempts the whole sex like in decades past.
The likely answer is, if you don’t want to enter military service, many women will choose to get pregnant. 4-6 girls in my bootcanp div were sent home during p-days for pregnancy. Of the 90 women in my department on the ship, 10-11 got pregnant between my 1st and 2nd deployment (9 month time span with a 1 week and 1 month build up underway, and a 1 month engineering testing). In my 1.5 year a-school, if they didn’t flunk out of nuke school or not make it because they couldn’t pass the pfa (physical fitness assessment), many got out bc of pregnancy. I was one of the few straight women who made it to the fleet.
Even when not serving in combat roles, women carry guns in the military. We stand watch, serve as MAs (master at arms), and are divers..... Just to name a few. Some women flourish in the military, others like me struggled with the health effects of shift work, 3 hrs of sleep a day, minimal and poor healthcare, and compounding chronic injury/health issues.
I was a rarity in my day. I was a college athlete who was massively strong (I’d race the boys opening main steam and knocker valves and once carried a water fountain out of the plant because the tubby male was too weak to carry the other end). Most of the women I worked with couldn’t meet the physical requirements necessary to be in the navy (heavy lifting). Most of the men could (although not all).
I say this only to be honest. Very few women serve, even fewer are able to be nukes. I’ve done what the boys have done and seen what the other girls could and could not do. In all likelihood, this will be a disaster. Most ladies really don’t comprehend the physical differences between men and women. It isn’t just the heavy lifting and strength- it’s the doing it for 10-15 hrs a day, the bending and the crawling, being sick and working, being on your period and working, the joint pain, the backbending lifting.... Etc. All the things the male body is able to do and was designed to do that even those of us women in great physical shape are unable to do.
And I’m not being anti-woman, I’m just pro-reality.
Why not just do away with conscription altogether? Is it really practical anymore?
*So, which RINO-tards actually voted to advance this thing???*

“CONSERVATIVE PUSHBACK?”
Drafting women and sending them to war is an excellent way to bend the curve, the population curve:

Dead women don’t have children.
The elites want to “save the planet” so they have “breathing room”.
It is getting kinda obvious.
Wow! Darned impressive.
Conservatives oppose government mandates, which includes the ultimate mandate, conscription. People should serve their country in uniform because they want to, not because they have to.
I once had a conversation about this with a Chinese person and told her that in a free society there would always be patriots willing to fight and die for their nation. She said that wouldn’t be true in China. We’re not China.
As a former submarine sailor I would not want to serve with anyone who didn’t want to be there.
I have no problem with this.
We are going to lose the coming war with China anyhow, so why not draft women, using the priority of white college women first, transgender male-to-female next, then suburban white women.
They were the ones who put Biden in office, so they should bear the brunt of his disastrous policies that encouraged China to attack us.
That’s not legal today. No MOS is closer to women. They will use them everywhere. The whole point they are making is that women are the same as men. They won’t restrict them to girl jobs.
This is evil, and I’ll resist the living hell out of this. There are still lots of normal American girls who aren’t trying to be boys. It’s deranged to turn them over to butch lesbians, atheists, trannies, and throw them into that environment.
