It would make more sense to stop having men register for the draft. After all, this country went to an all-volunteer military almost half a century ago.

true equality between the sexes will be when woman bleed at an equal rate as men do in battle.A bit harsh, but the feminist thing has pushed it the line to the logical point. Woman get drafted and sent into front line combat. The old canard of woman get to clog up all the noncombat jobs so men have a higher rate for being sent into infantry is now a mute point.
You may not like the results of actual equality but you now have it.
The baby birth thing is a very thin ploy

Drafting women should be absolutely wrong. Over about 50 years, a step at a time, beginning with the women's lib movement, people have been educated to remove women from the home. I believe a righteous society supports families with mothers nurturing children. Fighting war is for men even though ideally we would live in peace.

Why is Ted Cruz mentioned and pictured in this article? Why not feature President Kimble, who commented on women in combat, in this article? That would be more pertinent and of more interest to LDS readers.

A righteous country does not send its women into combat. That is not right and never will be.

Are you suggesting, Craig, that because men do not run any risks when their wives give birth that the fathers have no rights to visit, teach or participate in the lives of their children? I guess I will have to start considering my husband's lack of risk any time he gives input to the children's discipline or what values he believes we should share with them. Heaven forbid he should want it both ways.

This is the logical conclusion of the sexual revolution. Women can't have it both ways. They can't have the freedoms of men without the responsibility. Equal rights mean equal risks. That means going off to war if need be. The only way for women to get out of it would be for women to go back to traditional gender roles, but I think we all know that's not going to happen.
