Twenty-five states have approved measures barring transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s scholastic sports, but West Virginia could become the first to have its law taken up by the Supreme Court.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced he will ask the Supreme Court to consider the constitutionality of the 2021 Save Women’s Sports Act after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied last week his motion to enforce the law.
“At its core, this is a matter of common sense,” Mr. Morrisey said Wednesday at a press conference. “You can’t fairly ask a girl or a woman to compete against a biological male. It’s not right, and it’s just plain wrong, and West Virginia parents know this.”
