After 85 Senators Vote to draft women to military combat:
Conservatives Have a Plan to Block Women in the Draft
The Senate voted 85-13 Tuesday to advance an annual defense policy bill that would require women to register for the draft. But that doesn't mean the provision is guaranteed to become law.
Opponents of the draft measure will have an opportunity to kill it when the House and Senate reconcile the differences between their versions of the National Defense Authorization Act in conference.
An annual authorization bill, this year's $602 billion National Defense Authorization Act sets the budget and outlines spending priorities for defense agencies. The White House has already threatened to veto the legislation.
