Bill: Women and the Military Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Coalition of Egelion
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2105
Description[?]:
| While we agree that women should be allowed to serve a role in the military, it is our belief that they should serve only in non-combatant positions. We believe that this bill is in no way discriminatory towards women, but the fact of the matter is that women are physiologially unfit for the activities that male soldiers perform. We recognize that women should instead play important support roles. |
