In the minus column we find a complete surrender of Title IX protections for women and girls from unfair competition with gender confused men and from invasion of their private spaces by men. This is done by valuing protections for gender confused men over the protections for women. As recently as 2020, the Department of Justice recognized that the intent of Title IX was to enforce the above noted protections of women against competition with gender confused men and for their privacy. That was ended with the new Title IX rules promulgated by the Biden Harris Administration. Fortunately, these rules are now being stopped by the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe support:\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cEnforcing Title-IX protections against gender-identity discrimination.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cSport participation aligning with students\u2019 gender-identity.\u201d [Men in girls\u2019 sports].<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cBathroom choice based on student gender-identification.\u201d [Men in girls\u2019 bathrooms.

Unborn babies are in the same position as Black people under the Dred Scott decision, i.e. they have no rights worthy of respect. Other than the phrase \u201cFetal personhood laws\u201d, unborn babies are never even mentioned in the platform planks on abortion. The planks mention no limits on abortion whatsoever, even to the end of the ninth month. Government funding for abortion is supported. Government funding for pro life crisis pregnancy centers is prohibited. Requiring ultrasounds, which may influence a mother to not kill her child, is prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1288913695-230c3b035bce4442b29e1598a492022d-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-302\" style=\"width:598px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1288913695-230c3b035bce4442b29e1598a492022d-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1288913695-230c3b035bce4442b29e1598a492022d-1.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1288913695-230c3b035bce4442b29e1598a492022d-1.jpg?resize=768%2C506&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1288913695-230c3b035bce4442b29e1598a492022d-1.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Vladimir Zotov \/ Getty Images<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201c. . . abortion coverage.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cCodifying Roe v.
