Message | Mr. Speaker, Current law that bars women from serving in COMBAT missions on the battlefield is NOT discriminatory to women in the military because women can serve in ANY job in the military and shall be guaranteed EQUAL pay for EQUAL work. However, in the event of a war, it is NOT wise to have the women serve on the front lines of the battlefield. WHY? Because scientifically women produce 1 egg cell per month while the average man produces 300 million sperm cells per day. Thus, after a war is over, if record numbers of women have died on the battlefield, it would be harder for society to RE-populate. However, if record numbers of MEN die on the battlefield, one man can RE populate the entire country. Again, this is NOT discrimination, but it is genetics, biology, and nature. Men and women were born different. Remember in the history of our galaxy on Planet Earth in 1912 when the crew of the ship Titanic reserve the lifeboats for the WOMEN and the CHILDREN. This is because men are expendable and women are not. cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCy5WQ9S4c0 ---Nicole A. Legrottaglie Minister of Justice ---Aimee C.

Message | Mr. Speaker, Even if that may be true, people should be able to defend their country no matter what. Considering that we have a slightly high population density, re-population would not be a major issue for us, especially not forced re-population. Markus Weise Defence Critic |
