WATCH: Dems Scream, Pound Desks When GOP Female Rep Proposes Protecting Women’s Sports

When a young female Ohio GOP legislator presented an amendment to an Ohio bill, an amendment that would protect biological female athletes from being forced to compete against biological males, Democrats reacted by screaming and banging their desks in an effort to drown her out, prompting criticism and mockery.

Ohio state representative Jena Powell, who in February 2020 proposed the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” was attempting to add an amendment to the “Name. Image, Likeness” bill as she stated, “The Safe Women’s Sports Act is a fairness issue for women to be able to achieve their dreams in athletics in our state. And it’s crucial to preserving women’s rights and the integrity of women’s and girls’ sports. Across our country, female athletes are currently losing scholarships, opportunities, medals, education and training opportunities.”
