Summary
If we believe in equal opportunities for women, that must include sports. Girls are losing their right to a fair playing field in sports because they are being forced to compete against male athletes.
This isn’t about hard work – it’s about biology. Men ale athletes have physical performance advantages that propel them to outperform women athletes. These biological differences are why sports are separated by sex in the first place.
Forcing girls to compete against boys removes equal opportunities, crushes female-made records, and takes away countless chances at scholarships and awards. This unfair reality is becoming increasingly prevalent in Pennsylvania and throughout the nation, and flies in the face of Title IX (Nine) enacted by Congress 50 years ago.
The Save Women’s Sports Act would ensure girls in Pennsylvania are not forced to compete against boys in sex-specific sports.
Summary
States that have legalized marijuana for recreational use have unleashed a predatory industry, leading to devastating consequences for families and communities—including more children in hospitals, a rise in youth mental health struggles, increased traffic fatalities, and rising workplace issues.
Gov. Shapiro’s marijuana proposal is an irresponsible plan that expands government and prioritizes industry profits over public health.
- Local Threat: The proposal has no THC potency limits, would force communities to sell harmful marijuana products, and puts additional strain on local law enforcement that has no in-field breathalyzer test for marijuana impairment.
- Conflict of Interest: State officials should not profit from increased addiction to a scientifically proven dangerous drug.
- Misleading Revenue Claims: Pro-marijuana politicians ignore the true economic and social costs of commercialization. We should learn from states like Colorado, where one analysis found $4.50 in costs for every $1 in marijuana tax revenue.
The damaging economic and social consequences are why so many associations oppose the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. These include health organizations (such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and Christian Medical and Dental Associations), law enforcement agencies (such as the PA Fraternal Order of Police and PA Chiefs of Police Association), and safety advocates (such as the American Automobile Association and PA Manufacturers Association).
Pennsylvania cannot afford to jeopardize public health and safety. We must protect our communities and demand responsible policies that prioritize people over profits.
Take Action: Stop House Bill 26 – The Reproductive Freedom Act
Take Action
Radical pro-abortion legislators have introduced House Bill 26, a dangerous piece of legislation that would completely dismantle Pennsylvania’s longstanding protections for the unborn and rewrite our laws to promote even more widespread abortion. This bill is extreme, it ignores common-sense regulations and it endangers vulnerable mothers and children.
ACTION ALERT: Stop House Bill 26: The Reproductive Freedom Act
Radical pro-abortion legislators have introduced House Bill 26, a dangerous piece of legislation that would completely dismantle Pennsylvania’s longstanding protections for the unborn and rewrite our laws to promote even more widespread abortion. This bill is extreme, it ignores common-sense regulations and it endangers vulnerable mothers and children.
What HB 26 Would Do:
- Repeal Pennsylvania’s Abortion Control Act, thereby eliminating decades of pro-life protections.
- End parental consent requirements allowing minors to obtain invasive abortions without a parent’s knowledge.
- Eliminate informed consent by removing the 24-hour waiting period and preventing some patients from obtaining critical health information before an abortion.
- Allow non-physicians to perform abortions – expanding already dangerous abortion procedures beyond doctors to nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
- Legalize late-term abortion for “mental health” reasons – a vague standard that has been exploited in other states to remove any time limits on abortion.
- Permit telemedicine chemical abortions, which eliminates in-person medical evaluations, ultrasounds, and other basic health safeguards.
- Remove Born-Alive protections, denying medical care to babies who survive botched abortions.
- Permit taxpayer-funded abortions, forcing Pennsylvanians to pay for elective abortion procedures.
HB 26 represents a complete shift in Pennsylvania law. It would move abortion regulations from the Crimes Code to the Health and Welfare Code, doubling down on the lie that abortion is “health care” instead of revealing what it truly is: the taking of an innocent life. Furthermore, this bill criminalizes pro-life counseling by making it a felony offense to “coerce” a woman into keeping her baby – another vague standard that could easily be used to silence pastors, pregnancy resource centers, and even family members.
This bill is radical, reckless, and completely out of step with Pennsylvania values.
