When Will NC Democrats Stand Up For Women's Sports?

Government and Politics

August 1, 2024


Gov. Roy Cooper and the North Carolina Democratic Party stood in the way of a bill last year that simply said biological males should not be eligible to participate in women's sports.

Cooper vetoed HB 574 but thankfully, General Assembly Republicans successfully overrodehis misguided action.

Today, the 2024 Paris Olympics featured an athlete previously barred from women's boxing competition from having male chromosomes who, unsurprisingly, dominated the bout.

North Carolina's own Payton McNabb, who was left paralyzed and with brain damage because of a biological male in her girls' volleyball match, has courageously spoken about the dangers she's experienced first hand.

This issue is no less important now.

The fact is, Kamala Harris, Roy Cooper, Josh Stein, and Democrats across North Carolina refuse to stand up for one of their own constituents. Their silence defies common sense on an issue that 70% of Americans agree on.

"Democrats are beholden to radical special interests even when their positions are woefully out of step with what most Americans believe," said NCGOP Communications Director Matt Mercer. "President Trump and Republicans are committed to saving the future of women's sports and stopping misguided Democrat policies, like the Biden-Harris rewrite of Title IX."
