Carter did not reinstate the draft.  The draft has yet to be reinstated.

Local NOW chapter presidents aside, what was/is NOW's position on
women in combat.  Specifically, if we draft, should we draft women?
If so, should drafted women be assigned combat duty?  If not, should
volunteer women be assigned combat duty?  I am more interested in NOW
and other organizations views on these issues than those of
individuals (which is not meant to discourage individuals :-)
