Two Congressmen introduced a new ‘Draft Our Daughters’ bill Thursday that would officially require women to sign up for the draft.

The bill was introduced shortly after top military officials from the Army and Marine Corps testified in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee that signing women up for the Selective Service System is the next natural step in military gender integration.

According to the text, the proposal would “amend the Military Selective Service Act to extend the registration and conscription requirements of the Selective Service System, currently applicable only to men between the ages of 18 and 26, to women between those ages to reflect the opening of combat arms Military Occupational Specialties to women.”

The congressmen who submitted the proposal, Rep. Duncan Hunter and Rep. Ryan Zinke, are military veterans who in the past opposed opening combat roles to women. While the representatives admitted that they would most likely vote against the Draft Our Daughters bill, they wanted to bring the conversation of integrating women into combat positions to Congress.

“It’s unfortunate that a bill like this even needs to be introduced,” Hunter said. “And it’s legislation that I might very well vote against should it be considered during the annual defense authorization process. If this administration wants to send 18-20 year old women into combat, to serve and fight on the front lines, then the American people deserve to have this discussion through their elected representatives.”

Both Hunter and Zinke have been critical of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter’s decision to integrate all branches of the military and Navy Secretary Raymond Mabus’ refusal to consider the Marine Corps’ request for an exemption. While the representatives acknowledge that women play vital roles on the battlefield, they oppose how these changes are being executed.

“I know women play an invaluable role in war. My daughter was a damn good Navy Diver,” Zinke said in a statement. “Many times women can gain access to strategic sites that men never could. However, this Administration’s plan to force all front-line combat positions and Special Forces to integrate women into their units is reckless and dangerous.”
