Not just the draft. When a woman actually qualifies to enter the 0311 or related combat career field they need to meet ALL of the same requirements on an ongoing basis just as men do. Like men, they don’t have the choice to opt out, they take what they are assigned to. Remove the option to get pregnant and thus avoid deployment or other such duties; if they become pregnant within 30 days of a deployment they will be charged with malingering. If they are deferred for pregnancy, they will be immediately at the top of the list to deploy within 4 months of birth, no exemptions. Women have always had way too many “outs” when it comes to assigning them to these MOS’s.

I don't disagree with you, but the military would be crossing into some unsavory territory, dictating when and where a pregnancy could occur. What if the woman claimed to be using birth control, and on the night before their deployment, that birth control failed? Additionally, taking the mother away from babies and young children at ANY time is cruel and anti-family.

Of course, this is not about equality in Obama's eyes. This is just another 100-pound weight to strap onto the camel's back, waiting for it to collapse completly.
