 House Republicans Just Voted To Draft Our Daughters – And GOP Senators Will Too
Forcing our daughters to sign up for mandatory conscription in an environment where they may now be sent directly to the frontlines is an appalling breach of the oath by these Republicans.

The House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Thursday night after a lengthy amendment debate that took up most of the day. This annual bill is considered “must pass” legislation as it reauthorizes and funds the military. This summer, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) marked up its version of the legislation and it’s expected to come to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a full vote later this fall.

Before this year ends, President Joe Biden will undoubtedly sign it into law. This is all exceptionally bad news for both America’s defense posture and for anyone who has a daughter or granddaughter.

In an unbelievable move, both House and Senate Republicans, many of whom view themselves as “defense hawks,” voted to add far-left language to the bill that would draft our young daughters in a time of national emergency. In the House, 135 Republicans voted last night to do just that.

It remains to be seen how many Senate Republicans have the spine to oppose this disgrace on the floor, but the outlook thus far does not look promising. Only five SASC Republicans opposed drafting our daughters during the committee mark-up. Those five were Sens. Tom Cotton, James Inhofe, Roger Wicker, Mike Rounds, and Josh Hawley.

Among those who proudly voted to put the onus of defending our nation on the shoulders of our daughters was first-term Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville. Indeed, after I heatedly spoke with members of his staff, it was stated outright the freshman senator felt that drafting women was the right call to counter the increasing threat of communist China. Tuberville’s office did not respond to a request for on-the-record comment on this article.

Much ado about nothing. No one, male or female, has been drafted since 1973. This is all a silly exercise in nothingness.

It does correct the gross injustice of the U.S. government needing to know the name and location of every male American citizen of a certain age under penalty of jail, six-figure financial penalty, and inability to gain certain forms of employment or a driver's license in 23 states, all while the women get off scot-free.

If we must have a Selective Service System, it must take every person we have at our nation's disposal into account.
