Biological Male Wins Girls 200 Meter State Title in Oregon

LGBT, ,

On Saturday a biological male reportedly took first place in the girls 200 meter race during Oregon’s 6A high school state championship.

Video posted online shows the male athlete win the race amid boos from the crowd.

We have written time and again how radical activism by pro-LGBT groups has put women’s athletics at risk of being erased in America.

Female swimmers, powerlifters, cyclists, sprinters, and others have seen their sports radically changed by biological males who identify and compete as women.

Letting men compete in women’s sports reverses 50 years of advancements for women.

It hampers girls’ abilities to compete for athletic scholarships, and it hurts their professional opportunities as adults.

In some sports, it can even be dangerous.

Fortunately, steps are being taken to protect women’s sports in America.

Last year the North American Grappling Association clarified its competition policy, saying biological males must compete against other men, regardless of their gender identity.

Earlier this year the professional golf league NXXT Golf announced that only biological females would be eligible to participate in the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour.

And recently the NAIA announced a policy that should prevent male athletes from competing in women’s collegiate sports.

In 2021 Arkansas passed Act 461 by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover) preventing male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school.

This good law protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas — and Family Council was pleased to support its passage.

Arkansas also is leading the charge against the Biden Administration’s new rule redefining “sex” under federal Title IX.

The Biden Administration’s new rule threatens to force public schools and universities to let biological males compete in women’s sports and use girls’ locker rooms, showers, and changing areas at school if enacted.

Group Hires Canvassers to Put Abortion on the Ballot in Arkansas

Abortion, , , ,

The group working to enshrine abortion into the Arkansas Constitution has hired more than a dozen canvassers to collect signatures for its statewide petition drive, according to documents obtained from the Secretary of State’s office via the Freedom of Information Act.

Arkansans for Limited Government has until July 5 to collect 90,704 valid signatures from registered voters. As of April 30, the group has raised nearly $350,000 for its campaign, and it appears at least some of that money is being used to pay petition canvassers.

State law lets ballot question committees hire Arkansas residents as petition canvassers to collect signatures.

The list obtained via FOIA indicates Arkansans for Limited Government currently has 15 paid canvassers — all of whom appear to have been active since May 7 or later. The paid canvasser list is available below.

If passed, the Arkansas Abortion Amendment would write abortion into the state constitution, allowing thousands of elective abortions in Arkansas every year.

The amendment does not contain any medical licensing or health and safety standards for abortion, and it automatically nullifies all state laws that conflict with the amendment. That jeopardizes even the most basic restrictions on abortion.

The measure contains sweeping health exceptions that would permit abortion through all nine months of pregnancy in many cases.

The amendment also would pave the way for publicly funded abortion in Arkansas by changing Amendment 68 to the Arkansas Constitution that currently prohibits taxpayer funded abortion in the state.

To date, multiple organizations have come out against the amendment, including:
