Rep. Chip Roy Slams GOP for Going Along With Democrat Plan to Register Women with Selective Service – By Susan Jones (CNS News) / June 17, 2022
(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Chip Roy, a Texas Republican, is urging the House Armed Services Committee not to include female draft registration in the next National Defense Authorization Act, as the Senate Armed Services Committee just did.
“As the House Armed Services Committee proceeds to markup the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I request that you oppose any effort to amend the Military Selective Service Act to require young women to register with the Selective Service,” Roy wrote to the committee.
A summary of the enormous bill produced by the Senate committee says the FY 2023 NDAA “amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service.”
“Thousands of women serve admirably in the United States Armed Forces, and I am grateful for their service and sacrifice to our country,” Rep. Roy wrote.
