Men are still dominating in women’s athletics.
University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas — a biological male who claims to be female — has shattered records and recently won the women’s 500-yard freestyle in NCAA Division I championship.

In October of 2019 Family Council released a short YouTube video titled “Men Dominating in Women’s Sports.”
Since then, the video has become our most-watched video that we have ever posted.
The video underscores how biological males who claim to be female are dominating women’s athletics — especially at the high school and college levels.
You can see the video below.
In October of 2019, Rachel McKinnon — a biological male who claims to be female — won the female Cycling World Championship.
Over the past few years, biological males have won girls’ track and field competitions, and more recently we have seen male swimmers break women’s swimming records.
Letting male athletes who claim to be female compete against women is more than just unfair. In some cases, it is actually dangerous.
In 2014 Fallon Fox — a biological male who identifies as a female — severely injured Tamikka Brents in a Mixed Martial Arts fight.
Stories like these underscore why the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 461 of 2021 one year ago this week.
This good law by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover) prevents male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics.
Act 461 passed with strong support from legislators, and Governor Hutchinson signed it into law last March.
Today Act 461 is in full effect — protecting fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.

On Monday the Madison County Quorum Court approved a resolution designating the Northwest Arkansas county as Pro-Life.
Last year the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 392 of 2021 by Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch).
This good law affirms that cities and counties can designate themselves as Pro-Life.
Act 392 also says that Pro-Life Communities can install signs or banners announcing that they are Pro-Life.
To date, 19 counties and 10 cities and towns have passed resolutions recognizing unborn children and affirming that they are Pro-Life.
Benton, Washington, Crawford, Cleburne, Pope, Jackson, Saline, Faulkner, Perry, Sebastian, Lee, White, Prairie, Searcy, Carrol, Newton, Boone, and Hot Spring counties have adopted Pro-Life resolutions — and so have the cities and towns of Marianna, Russellville, Springdale, LaGrange, Moro, Aubrey, Haynes, Marshall, Western Grove, and Leslie.
It makes sense that so many communities in Arkansas would vote to affirm that they are Pro-Life.
Arkansas is the most pro-life state in America.
Arkansans overwhelmingly believe abortion ought to be either completely illegal or restricted to certain situations.
The state legislature passed a record number of pro-life laws last year and 44 pro-life laws since 2011.
Family Council congratulates Madison County on becoming Arkansas’ latest Pro-Life Community. We look forward to other cities and counties passing Pro-Life resolutions in the future.
