Poll finds women not at ease with the idea of being drafted

Article here. Excerpt:

'An actual military draft has been out of commission for 43 years. But draft registration is still a stark reality for American men, who must sign up with the federal government like clockwork.

“The draft itself may never be reinstated, but men are still required to register for its possible use when they turn 18. Americans think women should do that too. By 50 percent to 35 percent they agree that women should also be required to register with the Selective Service System,” says Kathy Frankovic, an analyst for YouGov, which queried some 2,000 people on the issue.

Women, however, are not so keen on the idea. The survey found only 40 percent agreed they should be in the national pool for potential troops. Some demographics were all for it: 64 percent of Democratic voters who plan to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders approve, along with 61 percent of men, 58 percent of liberals, 53 percent of Democrats in general and 52 percent of voters who favor Hillary Clinton. Fifty-two percent of Republican voters who prefer Donald Trump, 48 percent of Republicans and 45 percent of conservatives also agree.'
