This is just despicable. These people pretend to be conservatives but the moment they’re in they turn into Mitt Romney.
Breitbart: Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb angered conservatives this week when he vetoed a bill designed to protect women’s sports from transgender activism.
Holcomb said in a letter on Monday that he finds “no evidence” to support the idea that sports are suffering from a lack of fairness in his state. The bill, HEA 1041, would have banned men who identify as women from competing in opposite-gender sports.
“The wide-open nature of the grievance provisions in HEA 1041 that apply to all K-12 schools in Indiana makes it unclear about how consistency and fairness will be maintained for parents and students across different counties and school districts,” Holcomb wrote in the letter.
“The presumption of the policy laid out in HEA 1041 is that there is an existing problem in K-12 sports in Indiana that requires further state government intervention,” he added. “It implies that the goals of consistency and fairness in competitive female sports are not currently being met. After a thorough review, I find no evidence to support either claim even if I support the overall goal.”
According to IndyStar, the bill may still become law, being that “Republican lawmakers have a supermajority in both chambers at the Statehouse, and only need a simple majority to override a veto.”
The bill was staunchly opposed by the ACLU and The Indiana Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Indiana AAP). The Indiana High School Athletics Association (IHSAA) also claimed transgenders had no unfair advantage in women’s sports by requiring transgender athletes to specify they have been living as their preferred gender for over a year.
“The moment the Indiana High School Athletic Association admitted there was no unfair advantage occurring in women’s sports, it became clear House Bill 1041 was more about fulfilling a made-up culture war than actually creating a better future for Hoosier children,” Indiana Democrats said after the veto.”
OK. The fact that it was opposed by the ACLU should’ve been enough for anyone sane to sign onto this bill but never mind that now. The governor is essentially saying he’d like to wait until this becomes an issue in his state. He’s hoping to not deal with this. Here’s the deal, unless your politician actively engages in culture issues, they will run from them.
For them to say it’s a made up culture war is nonsensical. Just look at the NCAA swimming champ you morons. Every secular league one of my daughters has played in, I’ve seen a number of young boys pretending to be girls. The ironic thing is that the only one running “like a girl” on the court is the the boy.
This is straight up cowardice. Vote him out.
