Back in June, there was a proposal (pitched by Democrats) to expand the selective service, so that women would also have to register. The concept was to help encourage more people (both men and women) to signup for military service.
Senators and Congresspeople had mixed reactions, but in a general sort of sense, there was some agreement that the military needs to be expanded and automatically registering men (rather than having to send back a form), and perhaps some means of expanding the program to women might make sense.
But not everyone felt that way. Senator Josh Hawley, for example 'derided the measure to put women on equal footing as another "woke" decision being made on behalf of the nation's military.'
"We need to get reality back in check here. There shouldn't be women in the draft. They shouldn't be forced to serve if they don't want to."
But he also doesn't believe its a womans right to control her own body as it relates to abortion.
Is it safe to assume he 'respects' womens rights ... as it relates to how they serve men?
