I get so tired of men who use the draft as some kind of gotcha. Over the course of human history, more women have died in childbirth than men have died in war by several orders of magnitude. In the last two thousand years alone, roughly 800 million women died from childbirth; 100 million women died from it in the last hundred years. That’s roughly the same death toll as the Second World War, or the Black Death; it’s more by tens of millions than the number of native Americans who died as a result of European contact. In the last century alone, maternal deaths have equaled or exceeded the death toll of each of the three greatest catastrophes in human history — and yet we never hear a word about it. When men use their power to force a woman to keep a pregnancy, they are forcing her to gamble with her life. Childbirth has long been equated with military service, but unlike warfare, with its heroes and the thanks of a grateful nation, the women who die giving birth do so unsung, unappreciated, and unacknowledged by any but their families - and sometimes not even then. Forcing a child to give birth is even worse, and greatly increases the risk that she will die in the process. Men would never accept a world in which women had the power to send them to war, or even to control their fertility, no matter how safely. Why, then, should women accept any laws passed by male-dominated legislatures that aim to control female bodies?

Is this true???

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
