PA Freedom Caucus Statement on Re-Referral of Senate Bill 9

Cowardly Committee Maneuver by House Democrats Blocks Girls' Sports Equality

It is with profound disgust that we address the recent decision by House Democrats to re-refer Senate Bill 9 to a different committee. This action represents not only a bureaucratic maneuver which stifled debate and silenced millions of Pennsylvanians, but also a significant setback in the pursuit of equality for countless girls across Pennsylvania. By avoiding the vote, House Democrats have delayed progress, promoted discrimination, and made it very clear that they intend to usurp Federal Title IX law in their pursuit of a woke agenda that 80% of Americans wholeheartedly reject.

The re-referral of Senate Bill 9 is more than a mere procedural delay; it is an abdication of responsibility that undermines the core tenets of our Constitutional Republic. The girls of Pennsylvania deserve better than seeing their rights postponed due to political parlor tricks. We call upon House Democrats to reconsider Senate Bill 9 and to prioritize its passage without further delay.
