House Republicans push for debate on Save Women's Sports bill

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – House Republicans push for debate on bill aiming to enforce biological sex definitions in sports amid federal threats to cut California's funding for policy violations, officials say.

  • House Republicans led by Rep. Barbara Gleim of Carlisle pushed to force a floor vote on Senate Bill 9, the Save Women's Sports Act, in Pennsylvania in 2025.
  • The bill, stalled in the Democratic-controlled House Education Committee, would require schools to restrict sports participation by biological sex, effectively banning transgender female athletes from girls' sports.
  • The measure passed the GOP-led Senate with unanimous Republican support and five Democratic votes, while Democrats re-referred it to the Health Committee to avoid a floor vote.
  • Advocates assert the bill protects girls' sports opportunities, citing 27 states with similar bans and Trump's 2020 executive order, while opponents call it discriminatory and damaging, noting related Supreme Court cases and studies linking such laws to negative impacts on transgender youth.
  • This political standoff suggests continued division over transgender athlete participation and legal scrutiny ahead as Pennsylvania and the nation navigate the evolving status of women's sports protections.
