Women in sports fought for too long to be respected in athletics \u2013 and now the radical left\u2019s agenda is putting Title IX and the integrity of women\u2019s athletics in jeopardy,\" said Congressman Westerman.\n\n\"This should not be a partisan issue; it\u2019s why we have women\u2019s sports \u2013 basic genetics tells us that some biological males will naturally have a physical advantage over some females. This bill, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, will ensure a level playing field for female athletes. House Republicans promised to protect the integrity and fairness of women\u2019s sports from the woke left, and that\u2019s exactly what this bill does.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:44:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://westerman.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/westerman-votes-protect-integrity-and-fairness-womens-sports"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5249571297317743, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
