GOP backs Defense Authorization Act that requires women to register for draft
Fox News
The House GOP conference came out in support of the National Defense Authorization Act, which would require women to register for the draft.
A House panel voted 35-24 on Sept. 1 to approve an amendment introduced by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., that would effectively require women ages 18-25 to register for the Selective Service System like their male counterparts. The Senate Armed Services Committee made a similar vote in July to expand any potential draft to women.
The United States has not instituted a draft since the Vietnam War.
