The Pentagon will have to start drafting women in order to receive funding after House Democrats amended the defense budget.
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan put forward a measure on Wednesday to require all women over the age of 18 to register for selective service.
Houlahan said her policy would best draw on the "Talents of our entire nation." Only one in three women support adding women to the draft, according to an Ipsos poll.
"It seems like this is a solution in search of a problem. We don't need to draft women in order for women to have equality in this nation."
Female participation in the military has steadily increased.
A larger percentage of women in military service are commissioned as officers than men.
Our military has welcomed women for decades and are stronger for it," Cotton said.
