Moms for Liberty is collecting signatures for the cause online petition urge Bradford (D-Montgomery) to bring the bills to the floor.
“Matt Bradford, in my opinion, appears to be blocking these bills because he knows they would be passed with bipartisan support if they ever saw the light of day,” he said There is Nestor“Conservative Voice” co-host and contributor Wide + Freedom. “He protects the ideological fringes at the expense of every girl who plays sports in Pennsylvania. Leadership sets the agenda, and he uses that power to bury legislation that the public overwhelmingly supports. Voters deserve to see where their representative stands, not to have one man decide the outcome in a backroom.”
The state Senate approved a bill in May to exclude biological males from girls’ and women’s sports, but it stalled in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives. Many people believe that in sports, men have a physical advantage over women and that they have an unfair advantage.
The University of Pennsylvania recently reversed course to comply with Trump’s Title IX provisions, undoing recent victories biological men who competed in women’s sports.

She noted that the legislature passed and Governor Josh Shapiro recently signed a law aimed at preventing discrimination based on hairstyle.
“What about our juvenile women? How do we protect them?

McGinley, a former Methacton School Board candidate and hairdresser, said the House should take up these bills (SB9, HB1849, HB158) to protect girls’ sports rather than leaving the issue to individual school boards.
“It’s not going away,” McGinley said. “I have no intention of leaving.”

Bucks County Mother Jamie Walker That’s right.
“It doesn’t shock me at all that Democratic Leader Bradford continually keeps bills in committee to protect girls’ sports. Democratic state representatives will never vote to protect girls’ sports for two reasons: they don’t care about what’s best for girls and they are cowards. Leader Bradford doesn’t want Pennsylvania voters to see the truth about other Democratic representatives.”
Neither Bradford nor his spokesman responded to multiple requests for comment.
