Jessica, the point of the draft is to shore up the entire military in times of extreme need. That means both combat & support roles (not just medical). If a woman in a unit is pregnant, she needs to be assigned to a role where she can still do productive work. It's a serious failing of the military if they don't have that properly organized. Also, women would have to pass the same physical and psychological tests as men, so claiming that women are too emotional to be in combat is no reason to exclude them from the draft. If they aren't fit for duty, they won't be there.
