I meant to post on this last week.
A federal judge in Texas has declared that an all-male military draft is unconstitutional, ruling that “the time has passed” for a debate on whether women belong in the military.
The decision deals the biggest legal blow to the Selective Service System since the Supreme Court upheld the draft registration process in 1981. In Rostker v. Goldberg, the court ruled that a male-only draft was “fully justified” because women were ineligible for combat roles.
But U.S. District Judge Gray Miller ruled late Friday that while historical restrictions on women serving in combat “may have justified past discrimination,” men and women are now equally able to fight. In 2015, the Pentagon lifted all restrictions for women in military service.
Many Americans are dead set against sending our daughters and granddaughters into combat.
Fortunately, some Christian denominations have taken a preemptive stance against this, having seen this coming for years. The CREC adopted a Memorial back in 2002:
It is not lawful for women to be mustered for combat service,
for our Lord has declared it an abomination for women to don
the martial attire of a man (Deuteronomy 22:5). Christian
fathers must protect their daughters from being seduced or
coerced into such a circumstance, and the Church must
support them as they do so.
And other churches have been even more explicit.
