Republicans move to strike Dem proposal to include women in the military draft
Fox News
Republicans are pushing back on a Democratic provision in the fiscal year 2023 defense authorization bill that would extend the military draft to women.
The "Don't Draft our Daughters" amendment specifically strikes Section 521 of the draft fiscal year 2023 NDAA. Language in the Democrat-led draft states that "male person" would be replaced with gender-neutral "person," so that women could be drafted. Kelly Laco is a politics editor for Fox News Digital.
Democrats cite the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as the basis for the change.
