US Sen. Dan Sullivan and Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted to advance the Senate Bill 9, Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, legislation to protect protections for women by prohibiting federal funds from going to schools and universities that allow biological males to compete against female athletes in sports or other activities designated for women or girls.
But Senate Democrats voted unanimously to block the bill from being able to advance.
In a party-line vote of 51-45, the act fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance.
Four senators didn’t vote: Republicans Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming; and Democrats Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Peter Welch of Vermont. Both Capito and Lummis were cosponsors of the bill but were not present for the vote.
Sen. Sullivan is a cosponsor of the bill but Sen. Lisa Murkowski is not. Even liberal Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine voted to proceed with the commonsense S.9, which was introduced by Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.
The bill would codify President Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” Executive Order, signed on Feb. 5, which has wide support from Americans. The president’s order can be undone by the next Democrat president, which is why Tuberville, a former football coach, wanted it in statute.
“Too many girls and women across our country have had their dreams dashed because the former administration shredded Title IX protections by allowing biological men to compete against them in sports,” Sen. Sullivan said. “Protecting our daughters and granddaughters’ right to fair and safe competition is a civil rights issue, and I’m proud to be an original cosponsor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. Going forward, I am also eager to lock arms with organizations across the country and in our state to fight back against a culture that is intent on dismantling our values and denying our female athletes the right to stand on the winner’s platform.”
Sen. Sullivan had sent a letter to the former Biden Administration’s Department of Education pushing back against far-left gender ideology infiltrating Title IX and eroding women’s equality, privacy and safety.
The companion bill in the House passed in January, with Congressman Nick Begich voting in favor of it. Last year, then-Rep. Mary Peltola voted against an identical bill.
Democrats are thoroughly mixed up in the head. Some would say……they are mentally ill and need psychotherapy.
Thus again we see the character of the average Democrat politician. They claim that conservatives don’t care about women, but then they graphically demonstrate that THEY don’t.
Today’s vote was whether or not debate on the bill should end so that the bill could move to the floor for a vote, a process known as cloture. The bill itself was not voted on as sponsors could not obtain enough votes to advance the bill. Note that the vote against cloture was not supported unanimously by Democrats as the article claims; Democrats Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Peter Welch of Vermont both did not vote.
Make America Sane Again.
If you are still a member of the democrat party, you really need to take a look at what that means. The vast majority of Americans support keeping men out of women’s sports. Keep it up, democrats, you are working to build an even more solid Republican majority.
If the Whack-0-Crats want to choose this hill to die on then good for them!! The more they show their true colors, the more people will see them for who they really are & what they really stand for. Bravo & stay the course!!
Why are Democrats doing this to their Party? Absolutely insane!
Here we go again. Calling them “biological men” rather than just “men” implies there are two types of men. The implication is, “biological man” is actually a type of woman, that a transgendered woman. Using the term patronizes nonsense. Stop using it. Women are women. Men are men. No “biological” adjective needed.
As to fairness, our constitution protects anyone’s right to pose as, and adopt the physical appearance of the opposite sex. However, the constitution does not protect the right to engage in deception to profit from, or detrimentally deceive others with a false identity. Anyone can pose however they want as long as they do not harm, or infringe upon the rights of, another.

There are 10 transgender women within 500,000 other women competing in the NCAA. Smokescreen to distract from tax breaks for $Billionaires
And yet only today it was reported:
“A transgender high school track star in California recently obliterated her competition by winning a girls’ triple jump event by a staggering eight feet. AB Hernandez, a junior at Jurupa Valley High School, secured the win with a more than 40-foot jump at the Ontario Relays invitational meet back on Feb. 22, records show. The runner-up managed to jump just over 32 feet in the category.”
You don’t think those actual girl competitors matter because you hate women/girls. Admit it, Frank. We can all see it.
Time for another Covid booster shot Frank.
We all know you took it.
Boost often, please.
Why do democrats hate women, Frank?
Wow you triggered these bootlickers didn’t you
Hahah Frank. More of those conspiracy theories. You expect anyone to actually believe you.
Tax breaks are good. Why would you want more taxes? If the government can’t reduce its spending, it is not our responsibility to give them more money.
You are the reason Trump won again. The people don’t like your policies Franks.
Just take the L and come back in 2028 when you will lose again.
Well, Frank, how did you become so much in favor of pseudo-women taking stuff from actual women??
If there truly are only 10 men who want to compete in women’s sports and go into their bathrooms and shower rooms, it should be a no brainer to establish a law that supports women by telling these men (who are so obviously confused at best or deeply perverted at worst) that they can’t do those things. Protecting girls and women should be the priority. Why are you and all these Democrats so common-sense challenged Frank?
Looks like Democrats didn’t want to give President Trump a win before his speech this evening.
As a straight white, Catholic, business owning, man I believe women’s spaces – locker rooms, bathroom, sports fields, athletic scholarships – should be protected.
Trans people need our help not encouragement to act on their mental illness or deviant sexual fetish.
Trump won – we can speak the truth!
This is the hill the Democrat party died on.
