Tulsi Gabbard’s Parting Shot At Democrats: ‘Protect Women’s Sports Act’ And ‘Born Alive’ Bill
Denying biological differences between men & women undermines the reason why Title IX was created in the first place,” Gabbard stated in defense of the Protect Women’s Sports bill she introduced in the House.
Gabbard has spent her final days in Congress (she opted not to run for reelection to the House during her presidential campaign) introducing bills that further shine a bright light on how extreme her party has become.
Last week, Gabbard introduced the “Protect Women’s Sports Act,” a bill which she said in a statement “would clarify [that] Title IX protections for female athletes is based on biological sex”:
Today, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) and Rep. Markwayne Mullin (OK-02) introduced H.R.8932, the Protect Women’s Sports Act. Given the average difference in abilities conferred by biological sex, this bill would clarify Title IX protections for female athletes is based on biological sex.
“Title IX was a historic provision championed by Hawai‘i’s own Congresswoman Patsy Mink in order to provide equal opportunity for women and girls in high school and college sports. It led to a generational shift that impacted countless women, creating life-changing opportunities for girls and women that never existed before. However, Title IX is being weakened by some states who are misinterpreting Title IX, creating uncertainty, undue hardship and lost opportunities for female athletes. Our legislation protects Title IX’s original intent which was based on the general biological distinction between men and women athletes based on sex,” said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. “It is critical that the legacy of Title IX continues to ensure women and girls in sports have the opportunity to compete and excel on a level playing field.”
After the predictable outrage among transgender rights activists ensued, Gabbard took to the Twitter machine to defend her position:
My 'Protect Women’s Sports Act' simply protects the rights & interests of girls & women who participate in sports so they can compete on a level playing field. Denying biological differences between men & women undermines the reason why Title IX was created in the first place.
She also introduced an amendment last week that is similar to past failed attempts by Republicans to pass legislation that would protect babies born alive after botched abortions:
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, appears to be defying her party’s leadership again as she introduced a law mandating medical care for infants who survive abortions, a measure that appeared to be similar to one her party blocked earlier this year.
Introduced on Wednesday, H.R. 8923 would amend U.S. criminal code “to ensure a health care practitioner exercises the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.”
The brief amendment resembled legislation pushed by Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., and Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., earlier this year. Both the Senate and House Democrats rejected the bill, which would have imposed penalties on doctors who refused to provide lifesaving medical care to abortion survivors.
This, too, generated outrage among the usual suspects.
