Planned Parenthood’s PAC Shows No Activity in Second Quarter of 2022

Abortion, , , ,

On Thursday Planned Parenthood’s political action committee filed a report with the Secretary of State’s office showing the abortion giant engaged in no political campaigning in Arkansas during April, May, and June of this year.

So far the only electioneering Planned Parenthood has reported in Arkansas this year is $2,900 given to Lisa Carole Parks (D – Springdale) on January 31 in support of her special election campaign for State Senate District 7.

Parks lost that special election in February, but since then she has filed to run for State Senate in the 2022 general election this November.

Now that Roe v. Wade has been reversed and abortion policies can be set at the state level, many pro-lifers expect groups like Planned Parenthood to turn their attention toward influencing state elections.

Planned Parenthood’s political action committee reportedly has a little over $12,000 that it could spend influencing elections in Arkansas this year.

Biological Male Swimmer Lia Thomas Nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year

Transgender, ,

A biological male has been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas — a biological male who claims to be female — made headlines after shattering women’s swimming records last year and winning the women’s 500-yard freestyle in NCAA Division I championship in March.

Last week the NCAA listed Thomas among the 577 athletes nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

The NCAA established the Woman of the Year Award in 1991 to honor female athletes who have “distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers.”

NCAA member schools are encouraged to nominate their top graduating female student-athletes for the Woman of the Year Award. The NCAA will recognize the award winner in January of 2023, following a lengthy selection process.

The story underscores once again how ignoring basic biological realities about male athletes and female athletes robs women of opportunities to receive recognition for their achievements.

As John Stonestreet wrote in 2021, “This sort of let’s-all-pretend-we-don’t-know-what’s-happening groupthink isn’t good for college sports or for women’s rights. It’s not good for Lia Thomas, his teammates, or his competitors. No matter how fast he swims, no man really breaks a women’s record.”

That is why the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 461 of 2021, The Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover). The law prevents male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics.

Letting males compete in girls’ sports reverses 50 years of advances for women. It hampers girls’ abilities to compete for athletic scholarships, and it hurts their professional opportunities as adults.

Act 461 is a good law that protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.
