Lawmakers drop proposal to add women to the draft as defense bill headaches mount

 Compromise defense policy legislation set to be filed Monday will not require women to register for a military draft, according to two people with knowledge of the negotiations, a stunning turnaround after the proposal gained bipartisan support in both the House and Senate this year.

Leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services committees left the provision out of the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act, despite the fact that both chambers' bills would have expanded the Selective Service System beyond men.

  1. Wait, wait, so we're all into equity until it comes to a draft and then suddenly it's okay to snatch up all the men and send them off to die but not the women?
