89: Legislators Join the Fight for Girls’ Sports + Planned Parenthood Blocks School Transparency

About this episode

Episode 89 discusses the fight for girls' sports and the impact of Planned Parenthood on school transparency legislation.

Grab your coffee and join the conversation with Coffee Culture & the Capitol . In Episode 89, Sophia shares what happened at a press conference and CIF meeting where seven female athletes, parents, and leaders spoke out against policies allowing biological males to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms. Hear highlights from speeches by Assembly members Kate Sanchez and David Tangipa, who stood boldly for fairness, privacy, and Title IX protections and the surprising response from Asm. Josh Lowenthal. Then the conversation shifts back to the Capitol, where Planned Parenthood helped kill a common-sense transparency bill that would simply have notified parents when outside groups teach sex ed in schools. Greg breaks down what happened to AB 281 by James Gallagher and what it reveals about Planned Parenthood’s political influence. Finally, don’t miss details on how you can get involved at the upcoming California March for Life and why showing up matters now more than ever.
