(Des Moines) Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird supports efforts led by 26 states to restrict girls’ sports to athletes assigned female at birth. Bird has joined two coalitions pushing for the U.S. Supreme Court to review and uphold Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act and West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act. Bird argues these laws protect female athletes and ensure fairness in sports by preventing biological males from competing in female categories. She emphasized that such regulations are crucial for maintaining equal opportunities and safety for women in sports. Governor Kim Reynolds signed similar legislation in Iowa in 2022.
