Senate is trying to get our girls too.

Over my dead body.

Exactly.

More like theirs.

It’s been mandated federally in the US on and off since 1917 and the current continuous requirement has been in place since 1980.

If it’s mandated, what’s the perceived issue with it happening automatically?

Because a person can decide not to register (and risk getting caught), or can appeal it, or can instead register as a conscientious objector. This bypasses all that, or at least would make "un-registering" much more of a hassle.
