The issue here is not whether the draft will ever be instituted again or not. The issue here is we have given equal rights, for the most part, to everyone over 18 years of age. Of late, women and the law have demanded equal pay for equal work and these rights have been extended all the way into every field including combat female soldiers.
So for women not to register for the draft would be and is discriminatory. All it would take is one male to file a law suit and take it all the way to the Supreme Court and the court would have no choice but to rule in favor of the man. Then all the good gals would have to sign up like the rest of us men and live happily ever-after.

I might agree with you…
Even though, I wouldn’t want to see my girls as soldiers, my niece (in the Iraq war) became more disciplined, confident and has better survival skills than my daughters and her own husband. She received a ‘Purple Heart,’ and better yet, under threat of death, in a moment of despair, she made a deal with God to survive a very threatening event in her life and kept her promise, she converted to Catholicism (being a lukewarm Catholic before) and is now a Traditionalist.
She said: ‘While under attack from terrorists, God saved my life and the men I was with by a miracle.
‘In an ambush, there was nowhere to escape, all doors were bolted shut, no keys, no combinations. Everything was in slow motion, even the bullets coming at us could be seen. There is no way we could live through this. I prayed to God and promised I’ll become a better Catholic and change my life if He would save us. In an instant, a door opened and we went through it to safety. It was a miracle! ‘
