Men-only draft registration invalidated

A federal district judge in Texas has issued a declaratory judgment finding that the current men-only selective service registration requirement is unconstitutional as a denial of Fifth Amendment equal protection. The decision is National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service System (S.D. Tex. Feb. 22, 2019).

The plaintiffs did not seek an injunction. Query: does the decision mean that women will now have to register (as the plaintiffs' press release asserts) or will men no longer have to do so?
