BACKGROUND:
Words like ‘female’, ‘male’, ‘man’, and ‘woman’ are used thousands of times in state and federal law. Politicians are redefining these words and separating them from biology and their true meaning. When these sex-based words don’t have uniform, biological definitions, women pay the price.
By signing IWV’s Stand With Women Commitment, Attorney General Morrisey will promise to uphold legislation that is pro-woman, pro-science, will fight for policies that prevent sex discrimination and preserve women’s rights, safety, and opportunities.
As part of IWV’s Hope Agenda, the Stand With Women Commitment encourages candidates to define what a woman is and to stand with Americans on one of the most important issues that women, as well as independents, Hispanics, and younger Americans, care deeply about and want addressed.
