Every Senate Democrat voted to put an end to a bill that would have kept men out of women’s sports. What does this mean for our nation?
From The Christian Post. The U.S. Senate has voted against advancing a bill that, if passed, would have prohibited school athletic programs from allowing men who identify as female to compete in womenās sports.
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
Senate Bill 9, also known as theĀ Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,Ā received aĀ voteĀ of 51-45 on Monday evening on whether to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed with the bill. It needed at least 60 votes to get cloture.
Invoking cloture would have limited debate on the bill, thus preventing a filibuster or other ways of delaying a final vote on the proposed legislation.
In a floor debate held before the vote, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., opposed the legislation, saying she was against āany attempt by the federal government to meddle in decisions about who can and cannot participate in school sports.ā
āThis is a decision for local communities where players and parents can participate in that discussion,ā Baldwin said. āThis is a decision for sports leagues to thoughtfully craft policy that actually take seriously what is best for all players, not blanket mandates that will undoubtedly have unintended consequences.ā
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., who sponsored SB 9, argued that the proposed law was necessary because āwomenās sports at all levels has been under attack.ā
āSince the beginning of time, people have agreed that sex is assigned at birth and determined by God,ā Tuberville continued. āBut under the Biden administration, you had people claiming that men can get pregnant.ā
āWe have womenās teams in some states that are all boys ā¦ no opportunities for girls or women to participate on the team. Young women have been forced to compete against men and even share locker rooms and shower time. And on top of that, your taxpayer dollars are paying for it.ā
In January, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill in a vote ofĀ 218-206Ā with all Republicans and two Democrats ā Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez ā voting in favor.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters at aĀ press conferenceĀ held shortly after the lower chamber vote that āwe know from Scripture and from nature that men are men and women are women and men cannot become women.ā
In recent years, there has been considerable controversy over trans-identified male athletes dominating several womenās sports and major athletic competitions.
A prominent example isĀ Lia (Will) Thomas, a man who broke records when he was allowed to compete on the University of Pennsylvania womenās swimming team after competing on the menās swimming team for three years with less success.
Last month, the National Collegiate Athletics AssociationĀ announcedĀ a new policy prohibiting trans-identified male athletes from competing in women’s sports, reversing an earlier standard.
The NCAAās new policy came after President Donald Trump issued anĀ executive order vowing to end federal funds to schools that allow males to participate on women’s athletic teams.

Tammy you and the rest of the democrats are out of your mind and out of touch with God if you think that men competing in womenās sports is acceptable to the one true living God. Do you and your democratic buddies take showers together or undress together probably not. Protecting women from this evil should be number one, but you and the demoncrats believe that killing babies from conception to days after being born alive is a right. Fetterman quit acting like you are for the people you liar you do what the party tells you are a hypocrite. I will pray for Godās truth to come upon you and that you accept Godās will so that yaāll can break free from satanās hold. I do not think you are a bad people just making very bad decisions that will have negative consequences. I pray that the democratic voters will see how out of touch with Godās will you are and vote godly people to replace you. All of this applies to the rinos who occasionally side with satanās demonic plan. Stand strong on the wall, invite others to join, and trust in Godās perfect plan. ššš
Heavenly Father God, we know that You created men to be physically stronger and with more stamina than we woman are able to be. Therefore, please prevent a man posing as a woman from entering into women’s sports and races, where we woman have no possiblility of competeing. In Jesus’s Holy Name above all names, prevent these men posing as women, entering into these womens sports and please rebuke all democrates who are voting to encourage such insane wickedness to spite You, Lord, and to humilate us, Your people! Thank You, Father! Turn those backward things around and create rightness among your people, in Jesus’s Name, Amen!
I pray that our Lord will surround women and women’s sports with His guardian angels, and that any legislation voting against protecting women’s sports will come under The Lord’s judgment.
Lord, let your Holly spirit change the course of the hearts of any government leaders that seek to endanger or marginalize women in any way.
In Jesus name, Amen
Heavenly Father I pray you would open the eyes of Americans around the country to the absurd and immoral policies supported by those who voted against this. I pray you would cause them to reverse their stance or get voted out of office!
Father, We ask for your divine intervention in this matter. Praying for a change of heart for those who are against righteousness or move them out!!! In Jesus Name!
Senate democrat = heathen. All of them. Their vote on this issue shows it!
Lord, we ask You to protect women’s sports, as well as girls and women across the country. Show those who voted against this bill the danger of allowing men to compete against women.
It is disgusting to say the least that a senator from the great state of Wisconsin is so far removed from “we the people” in her debate against this bill. And yet we have Democrat run states that have taken children away from their parents because they would not go along with their gender affirming care. So sick!
This discussion doesn’t even have to include moral arguments. It is about providing a safe and fair environment for those women and girls who do engage in sports competition. The Democrat stance seems to be about providing men who can’t compete successfully against other men, an opportunity to assuage their “damaged egos’. Sick! And blanket mandates only seem to be legitimate when they want to mandate their evil agendas.
I feel if women want to compete against men that’s one thing but for a man to say he is a woman and competing against women that’s ridiculous. If they let so called transgender people compete let them have their own group. Transgenders against transgenders. Nobody will know who is what and what won! It’s a slap in God’s face when we try to change what He made us to be. Whatever parts you are born with is what God wants you to be. If by a- freak of a defect- a person is born with both parts then a hormone test decides what you are by what you have the most of. It’s not rocket science. Let’s get back to basics.
Humorous, but accurate – you gave me a chuckle!
I ask you to consider that this may not be God’s will. His will for girls and woman may not be for sports but for the protection and care of those who need it (the unborn, the young, the elderly, the poor, homeless, ect.) Has our greatest resource, Godly Woman, been distracted by the world from their true calling.
I pray that woman take their rightful place in God’s plan. That society values woman and God’s role for her in our nation.
Fern, I don’t think that one precludes the other – women can engage in sports, and be nurturers.
This bill should be put forward every senate session, making the opposition vote again and again against it, until it passes and/or it can be used by their opponents in the both thew primaries and general elections.
Father, first we want to declare VICTORY because that’s what You have given us! THANK YOU! šš½šš½
We decree that we keep and maintain the ground that we have gained through our prayers, and take more ground from the enemy. Thanks be to You, Lord, who causes us to triumph!! šš½
We decree victory with this issue because we know that it is egregious to You and an abomination. We ask that You turn the tides and the hearts of wicked people in authority, and also remove the veil from their minds. According to Your Word in Job 33:15-18 and Prov 21:1,, terrify them with warnings on the night watches of their bed, turn them from pride and doing what is wrong, and turn their hearts like you turn a watercourse. “Sanction” a course correction like only You can, and bring this back to the table at just the right time. In the name of Your dear Son, Jesus the Christ. Amen!

The kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent take it by force!
Religion “guided” by politics has never and will never work for the simple reasons that separate and divide political reasoning in the first place. The two are mutually exclusive and the sooner everyone understands this fact the better for humanity worldwide.
Many are the thoughts and plan of people, but You are the one who can change the heart. Please help women’s sports be free from devastating injuries from biological men playing with women. Help us Father, we are in agreement with your will. In Jesus name, Amen.
Itās disgusting that the democrats are so focused on their radical agenda, they fail to put the people first, especially young women. Everyone one of these democrats need to have their name listed so the public can be aware to vote them out of office.
Is the only issue “their agenda”, or could it also be there intense hatred for president Donald John Trump?…
If anyone, anywhere has any question of their God-given sexual identityā¦.. with the assistance of a mirror and the act of removing oneās undergarments, the answer should be ABSOLUTELY CLEAR !!!!
