'State Sen. Eric Kearney plans to introduce a resolution urging U.S. Congress to require women to register for selective service.

"On Veterans Day, it is appropriate to recognize the important and outstanding contributions women have made to our military throughout American history," Kearney, a Cincinnati Democrat, said in a press release. "As integration barriers fall and combat restrictions are lifted for women in the armed services, this resolution urges Congress to take a critical stride for women's equality in the U.S. military by calling on them to register for the selective service."
