Part 4/7:
Supporters of the legislation express frustration over the lack of urgency among Republican leadership to act on the Protect Women and Girls in Sports Act, arguing that the failure to advance this issue reflects a profound misstep. With a Republican majority in both Houses and the Presidency, there seems to be no logical justification for the inaction.
Some optimists believe that if the legislation goes to vote, even some Democrats might support it, given how starkly public opinion diverges from progressive party lines on this issue. The expectation is that this could be an opportunity for Republicans to solidify their commitment to advocacy for women’s rights in sports.
