I Prayed have prayed
Father, we thank You for raising up bold leaders in Utah who aren't afraid to stand up for biblical values. We pray that You would raise up more leaders like them across the country.

Following Lia Thomas’ NCAA win, America has been abuzz with debate about biological men participating in women’s sports. Amidst this controversy, Utah legislators overruled their governor in favor of a bill that would ban biological men, regardless of what they identify as from participating in women’s sports.

From CBN. Utah legislators voted Friday to override the governor’s veto on a bill that bars biological males from participating in girls’ sports….

State Rep. Kera Birkeland, who sponsored the bill, says “it’s time for fairness to win” in girls’ and women’s sports.

“High school girls across the state have expressed their concerns, and we owe it to them to listen,” she said in a news release. “Sports are their opportunity to overcome obstacles and break barriers. But in order to do that, they need a fair playing field….”

Are you encouraged by Utah’s legislators? Share your thoughts and prayers below!

Lord thy will be done on earth according to Your plan. Forgive us for wanting our own way. Keep America on the path of freedom as we look to You to guide and lead us. Thank You Lord for all the blessings we have and forgive us for the sin of abortion. Heal those who have been impacted by this procedure, forgive those who have participated and have mercy on us for allowing it to go on for so long.
We pray for the innocent lives that have been lost .
Amen

I am encouraged to see this because in my state, Indiana, we are in the same situation. I hope our legislature also has the courage to do what is right for women and women’s sports and override our cowardly governor’s veto. Doing what is right takes courage and we are so brainwashed, in this case we are told it is not the popular opinion, but actually, it is. The majority of people do not want the uneven playing field of biological males competing against biological females. The very loud, very small, minority just wants us to think they represent more than they really do. The silent majority must speak out! Thanking God for the Utah legislators. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

I started reading the comments on her twitter post. Every single comment is against her. I never could understand before how the left justified biological males in female sports. Now I see how they don’t see it as a problem at all. They see it as a minor issue for a vulnerable group of kids. They see it as picking on trans kids. It makes me so sad that everyone is deceived enough to really believe that its right to have biological males compete with women.

I’m thankful and I applaud the Utah legislators who have been courageous to honor Biblical values instead of caving in to wickedness to gain favor with those who are fascinated with being “politically correct.”

I am thankful that Utah is standing up to political pressures. It just seems crazy to me that there has to be a law about something that seems so obvious.
Title lX gave women equal rights – having biological men compete in women’s sports sure seems like a contradiction of Title lX. Stand up ladies!!
