Military Pregnancy Ban

US Army Major General Anthony Cucolo, the general who oversees northern Iraq, enacted a new rule on November 4th that makes getting pregnant or impregnating a fellow soldier an offense punishable by court-martial. Cucolo defends the new order by stating he needs female soldiers to be able to fulfill their deployments. The rule will not apply to female soldiers who are the victims of a sexual attack, but will apply to soldiers who are married to each other.

Today Jeff, Art, Scott, and Austin discuss if General Cucolo is justified for enacting this order or if boundaries have been overstepped. After you read their opinions, join the conversation by leaving a comment.
