Recently, Maj. Gen. Anthony Cucolo III has instituted a ban on female soldiers saying that if the female soldier they could be court marshaled or have a note put in their file that could prevent promotions later on. To make things 'fair' the General has added 'consequences' for the male soldiers who get female soldiers pregnant. His order comes with 20 things that the women are not allowed to do. Since when does ANYONE have the right to ANY woman’s reproductive rights? News flash if women didn't get pregnant you wouldn't have any soldiers at all. Why doesn't Gen. Cucolo go further and just ban the female soldiers from having any sex at all because they just might go and get themselves pregnant? And what about the fear a woman will feel if she does get pregnant?
These women soldiers signed up to fight in a war they did not create and they fight risking their lives but you’re telling them that if they get pregnant that they are going to be punished. Also I would like to point out that when the women did sign up for the army there was nothing in the contract that prohibited their reproductive rights. You can't just make the rules up as you go. If they knew what they were getting into first hand then it would be a different story.
