Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) was appalled, firing back, “We don’t need to draft women in order for women to have equality in this nation. Women are of worth and of value right now — and we are equal with men without having to pass a new law that would require 50 percent of this country, our daughters, our sisters, and our wives, to have to be drafted.” The committee disagreed — breaking with principle and public opinion to include the change in the final bill.
