  1. https://www.yahoo.com/news/women-required-register-selective-amendment-100049010.html Don’t know about this. On the one hand there is equality and all that but at the same time, shouldn’t women be protected do their ability to give birth and lack of fitness for combat? Would a real man really let his daughter be drafted into a war? Josh Hawley and other conservatives are strongly against it “I’m in favor of keeping the Selective Service, but I’m not in favor of forcing women to fight against their will,” Hawley said. “I do think there’s something about when it comes to national service ... If you’re an able-bodied young man ... you should be willing to take up arms and fight for this country.” “Our country is extremely grateful for the brave women who have volunteered to serve our country with and alongside our fighting forces,” he said. “But volunteering for military service is not the same as being forced into it, and no women should be compelled to do so.” “It is wrong to force our daughters, mothers, wives, and sisters to fight our wars,” Mr. Hawley said in a statement. https://www.newspressnow.com/news/l...cle_5da35514-3ced-11ec-9eac-df7ef37a39fe.html https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/...n-registe/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS Looks like several Senator have signed on to Hawley’s amendment Hawley Continues Fight to Remove Female Draft Provision in NDAA “As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on this year’s NDAA, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley is calling on the Senate to take up a vote on his amendment to remove the provision currently in the bill that forces women to register for the U.S. Selective Service System “Women have always made our armed services even stronger – but their decision to serve should be left up to them, not the government,” said Sen. Hawley. “I am proud that my sister bravely served in the U.S. Navy. Just like all the women before her, that was her choice. But our sisters, daughters, and wives shouldn’t be forced to do so.” The full list of Senators cosponsoring Sen. Hawley’s amendment include Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.), Tom Cotton (Ark.), Roger Marshall (Kan.), Roger Wicker (Miss.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (Miss.), Steve Daines (Mont.), James Lankford (Okla.), John Boozman (Ark.), Mike Lee (Utah), and Marco Rubio (Fla.). Text of the amendment can be found here. https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-continues-fight-remove-female-draft-provision-ndaa
