Would Ellen G White support TOSC position 3?

At the very end of TOSC a third group arose which claimed to support the idea of male leadership yet argued that as God had accommodated Israel by giving them the king they requested, so the church should permit Divisions wishing to ordain women to do so in the broader interests of unity.
We believe that the brief Ellen White article that follows helps answer the question, would Ellen G White have supported TOSC position 3?

Friday Night Live… Women's Ordination

This Friday, June 5 at 7:00pm Pacific, Doug Batchelor along with pastor Jean Ross will present a new hour-long Friday Night Live program on AFTV to discuss a crucial issue facing Christian churches today.
The program will also be hosted on Livestream.com/AmazingFacts. You can also come to this page for a live link before the broadcast begins.
Many churches today are struggling with questions regarding the biblical role of women in ministry, more specifically asking, “Should women be ordained as pastors?” One body of believers currently studying this question is the Seventh-day Adventist Church. During Friday Night Live, Pastors Doug and Jean Ross address many facets of this important issue, while taking text questions from viewers. I hope every person will get the word out about this timely and significant program.
The program will be archived at Livestream for later viewing.
You can also submit your question for this event by texting 760-523-2287 before the broadcast begins.
Please share the link and invite your friends.
