BELOW IS A LETTER GASBR SENT TO PBS NEWSHOUR
We write to urge a follow up on recent episodes to allow an opportunity to make critically important corrections to the historical record which was mis-reported by you in this month’s programming.
On April 3, 2025, Equal Means Equal filed a lawsuit in response to a lawsuit filed by Vikram Valame in California challenging the requirement that only males register for the draft while claiming the Equal Rights Amendment to be valid but leaving the intermediate level of judicial review in place. Wendy Murphy filed Equal Means Equal v. Donald J. Trump in response as the ERA requires strict scrutiny level of judicial review, and women will not allow men to determine the outcome of a case about women's rights.
See attached.

The ERA would end women’s second-class citizenship by finally giving women equal standing in the federal CONSTITUTION, thus would ensure women’s equal TREATMENT under all laws, regulations, and policies of state and federal governments.
The ERA would afford women equal treatment under the DUE PROCESS CLAUSE and the EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE, which affect all other rights including everything from obtaining a dog license to the First Amendment, LIBERTY, etc. These fundamental constitutional rights ensure that all people enjoy the most basic freedoms: autonomy, self-determination, authority over the self, bodily integrity, etc. Without the ERA, women cannot be assured that any rights will apply equally to them.
The ERA would require courts to use strict scrutiny when reviewing claims involving different treatment of women. Without the ERA, courts are allowed to use only intermediate scrutiny, which, unlike strict scrutiny, permits infringements on rights.
