What is Hillary Clinton's position on requiring women to register for selective service?

At tonight's Democratic Town Hall forum, Hillary Clinton was asked about her opinion on requiring women to register for selective service. Instead of answering, she shifted the topic to voting, saying that she would rather see 18 year olds be required to register to vote. Ultimately, she did not answer the question about draft registration.

Note: My original headline was "did anyone else just watch Hillary Clinton dodge the draft..... question?"

I'm reposting because I thought it was clever. Carry on.

She is a lying backstabbing hypocrite that should be in jail.

Did not see it, but it doesn't matter at this point because no one has come out with a position on the military yet except for the same "I"ll do what it takes to become the Commander-in-Chief" statement. It's sad really because when you win the election and you sit in that seat [not saying I know what it feels like] but your perspective changes because you now have the power to start war and you hold millions of lives in the palms of your hands. Was she wrong for answering the question, yes she was. Someone needs to tell Bill and that campaign manager of hers to convey one message to her.....If you want to be President then you need to answers those questions!!!

Her handlers hadn't briefed her on that yet, so she had no idea what to say.

Saw this as well tonight. I don't think many candidates want to touch this topic until their staffs dig in on how many votes they'll lose by picking sides. I think it's clear the military feels much more one sided about this than the rest of the general public.

depends on what the audience she is speaking to is. It could in favor; against; somewhat supportive; somewhat against...etc.
The world may never know!!!

The way I stand on this is, why not. Women want equal pay, equal opportunities...etc., I think they should also share the equal risk.
What I don't agree with is adjusting the standards so that it is easier for women to pass the tests.

What do you expect? To bad she is to old for the draft. Why was she not required to answer the question?

To be expected from a mother and grandmother who has a daughter and granddaughters, which is no different then a lot of the men here that are opposed to women in combat. So how about you do you have daughters or granddaughters.

Typical political question dodging (no pun intended). While I do believe HRC is the devil, I'm pretty sure a lot of the candidates on both sides would dodge this question as well.
