NCFM Statement regarding the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversing and dismissing our Selective Service case

The National Coalition for Men is disappointed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal’s decision denying women the right to register with the Selective Service System for the U.S. Military draft.

This right was advanced by the many women’s equal rights organizations that supported NCFM at the Fifth Circuit by filing an amicus brief in support of NCFM, including the following equal rights organizations:

• ACLU Foundation of Texas
• Women’s Rights Project American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
• KWH Law Center for Social Justice and Change
• National Organization of Women Foundation
• National Women’s Law Center
• Women’s Law Center of Maryland, Inc.
• Women’s Law Project

Our understanding is that the Fifth Circuit did not oppose NCFM’s position and its Amicus, but simply stated it was without power to overturn the earlier Supreme Court decision.

At this time, NCFM is exploring its options, including filing a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.

NCFM Statement Regarding Murder of Federal Judge’s Son.

The National Coalition For Men (NCFM), a nonprofit educational organization that raises awareness about the ways sex discrimination affects men and boys, is deeply saddened to hear about the tragic death reported today of Daniel Anderl, the 20-year-old son of Judge Esther Salas along with the shooting of her husband Mark Anderl.

“We are deeply dismayed to hear that this senseless act was perpetrated by a self-described men’s rights activist and unequivocally denounce anyone who uses violence to intimidate and harm people,” stated Harry Crouch, president of NCFM. “We offer our condolences and prayers to Judge Salas and the Anderl family.”
