Once again, in the name of equality, women end up getting the short end of the stick.
A Senate draft proposal of the National Defense Authorization Act “Amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service,” according to a summary of the bill released by the Democrat-controlled Senate Committee on Armed Services. Essentially, if this were to pass, women would be forced to sign up for the draft.
And many Republicans aren’t happy about it. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas responded to the proposal with a simple “You can go straight to hell. Over my dead body." Utah Sen. Mike Lee echoed in a post on X, “I'm with @ChipRoyTX — this will happen over my dead body,” adding “We Will Not Draft Women.”
Unfortunately, this is not a new concept. Though so far unsuccessful, Democrats have been pushing for this kind of legislation since 2016 when all combat jobs were opened to women. In 2020, a congressional commission recommended that women participate in the draft as a “necessary and fair step.”

In the years since, they’ve continue to push this woke attempt at equality that is not only unsolicited, but extremely harmful to women. I fail to see what is necessary about including women in a draft that has not been required since the Vietnam War. But most importantly, how is this “fair”? What is “fair” about placing women in involuntary combat against men and completely disregarding the obvious biological differences between them?
Thankfully, it is unlikely that this bill will pass. But the liberal audacity to continue to push for this absurdity is still baffling.
