'The United States has not had a draft since 1973, but federal law requires men ages 18 through 25 to register with the Selective Service System. Women, too, could soon have to shoulder that responsibility.

Earlier this year, American Civil Liberties Union lawyers filed a petition on behalf of the National Coalition for Men, asking the Supreme Court to consider whether male-only registration violates equal protection principles enshrined in the Constitution and discriminates on the basis of sex.'
