    It’s unlikely to be picked up by the Democrat-controlled Senate because of numerous amendments regarding abortion, diversity efforts, and transgender medical treatments.

    That seems about right. Tired of bills having all this non related crap shoved into them.

    Automatic registration would replace the coming-of-age tradition that all 18-year-old male U.S. citizens experience when they get a card in the mail from Uncle Sam informing them that they’re required under threat of criminal penalties to register for the Selective Service.

    This ~2 decades ago for me but I have no recollection of this ever happening.

      I’m not male but I did register for the draft when I turned 18. I remember doing it on my taxes as weird as that sounds.
