Equal Means Equal’s Legal Counsel, Wendy Murphy wrote in an article in Boston Herald.
“The ERA has not yet been validated because Joe Biden and Merrick Garland are fighting against its validation in two federal lawsuits, and blocking the US Archivist from publishing the ERA as the Twenty-Eighth Amendment.
This means Joe Biden and Merrick Garland are responsible for what’s going on in Texas. They have the power to unblock the ERA and give women much stronger legal arguments against restrictions on abortion rights, including the new Texas law. All Biden has to do is make a simple phone call to the US Archivist and tell him to publish the ERA. That’s it. One phone call and women will become fully equal citizens, with better legal protections for all their rights, including the right to terminate a pregnancy, for the first time in history.
But Biden refuses to make the call, while claiming to be outraged about the Texas law.”
