The Pence group advises the GOP against including women in future NDAA drafts.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) provision requiring women to sign up for a potential military draft is being opposed by Mike Pence's organization, who are urging Republican congressional leaders to prevent it from moving forward.

On Wednesday, AAF Executive Director Paul Teller wrote to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Mike Johnson, opposing the idea of women being required to register to fight in the United States' wars.

The Senate Committee on Armed Services approved the Senate version of the NDAA last week, which includes an amendment that expands selective service registration requirements to include women.

Teller stated that there is no justification for women to register for the draft unless logic and common sense are completely rejected and defied.

The letter strongly opposes the move and urges all Republicans to oppose any legislation that may result in young women registering with the Selective Service for a future draft.

Over 40 conservative groups and leaders, including Penny Nance, Terry Schilling, and Gary Bauer, signed the correspondence.

The NDAA version that passed the Republican-led House last week did not contain the controversial provision. This bill, which is unlikely to be considered in the Senate, would automatically register men aged 18 to 26 for the draft.

A Johnson spokesperson told Planet Chronicle Digital that the provision for women in the compromise bill between the House and Senate does not have his support.

Some Senate Republicans opposed the inclusion of the amendment in the fiscal year 2025 NDAA, with Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., arguing on X that the politicians were forcing women into the draft to eliminate gender completely and turn the military into a social experiment.

Some Republicans desire to conscript everyone they can to participate in all these wars. In response, he stated, "NO."

Last week, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, expressed his opposition to the provision through a post on X, stating that it would not pass "over my dead body."

McConnell's office did not immediately provide comment to Planet Chronicle Digital.

The Senate Republican leader may not agree with AAF and Johnson on the matter, as they have previously expressed support for expanding selective service registration to include women.

McConnell stated in 2016, as reported by the New York Times, that he believed it was suitable for women to register similarly to men.

At that time, he explained that he didn't expect to return to the draft, as the professional voluntary Army had been successful. The discussion was about Selective Service registration, should we ever revert to a draft.

He stated that women are now carrying out all types of duties in the military.
