Tonight, Republicans filed a discharge petition to force my bill, The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act onto the House floor,” Steube said in a press release following the Apr. 26 petition.He continued, “Instead of paying lip service to women, I hope my colleagues across the aisle will actually do something for women and girls by signing onto this petition. As the left perpetuates a craze to eliminate gender, the American people deserve to know where their elected representatives stand on protecting women’s sports.”As of Wednesday, 71 representatives have signed the petition in support of the motion. In addition to Banks and Steube, the earliest signatories were Glenn Thompson (R-PA), August Pfluger (R- TX), Vicky Hartzler (R- MO), Mary E. Miller (R- IL), Lauren Boebert (R- CO), and Kat Cammack (R- FL) are named on the file.Steube introduced the bill on Jan. 21 last year in an effort to take national action to reinforce Title IX protections for women’s opportunities.
