With the decision of the Secretary of Defense to end the "combat exclusion," women are now eligible for combat roles in the military. In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled in Rostker v. Goldberg, that the requirement for males--and only males--to sign up for Selective Service was constitutional precisely because women were excluded from serving in front line combat units.
That exclusion no longer exists--to ensure a just and equal society the Obama administration must implement Selective Service registration for women when they reach the age of 18, as well as require all women under the age of 30 to register for Selective Service as well--under the same penalties for non-compliance that apply to men.
This is an important issue for fairness and equality.
