No, I wouldn’t be willing to make an exception for a draft. I think military conscription is undemocratic, and equivalent to attempted murder by governments. And I wouldn’t be in favor of society forcing women to keep their pregnancies to “repopulate.” That’s just grotesque. Talk about following one wrong with another! You won’t find too many people here who support a draft, although I don’t think many people will define it like I do. So there won’t be many people who fit into the pro-choice/pro-draft category. > [@Polerius](#): > > I personally think the draft is horrible, and either should be eliminated, or should include women as well, in order to stop it from discriminating against men. I’m always tickled by this argument, it’s like a morbid equivalent of “the food here is terrible and the portions are too small.” “The draft is wrong, so they should either get rid of it or make sure women get killed too.” Why not just say you’re against it? 😛 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pro-choice-and-the-draft/427269)._
