#bjbc,mrs4 ,hyde-,smith 7for herself1   
,mr4 ,rubio1 ,mr4 ,cruz1 ,ms4 ,lummis1  
,mr4 ,lee1 and ,mrs4 ,britt7 submitted  
the following resolution2 which was     
referred to the ,committee on the       
,judiciary  ,,resolution  ,establishing 
a ,women's ,bill of ,rights to reaffirm 
legal protections afforded to women     
under ,federal law4  ,whereas males and 
females possess unique and immutable    
biological differences that manifest    
prior to birth and increase as they age 
and experience puberty2 ,whereas        
biological differences between the sexes
 mean that only females may get         
pregnant1 give birth1 and breastfeed    
children2 ,whereas biological           
differences between the sexes mean that 
males are1 on average1 larger in size   
and possess greater body strength than  
females2 ,whereas biological differences
 between the sexes can expose females to

 more harm than males from specific     
forms of violence1 including sexual     
violence2 ,whereas women have achieved  
inspirational and significant           
accomplishments in education1 athletics1
 and employment2 and ,whereas recent    
misguided court rulings related to the  
definition of sex have led to           
endangerment of spaces and resources    
dedicated to women1 thereby             
necessitating clarification of certain  
terms3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the 
,senate reaffirms that-- 7#a7 for the   
purposes of ,federal law1 the sex of an 
individual means his or her biological  
sex 7either male or female7 at birth2   
7#b7 for the purposes of ,federal laws  
addressing sex1 the terms woman and girl
 refer to human females1 and the terms  
man and boy refer to human males2  7#c7 
for the purposes of ,federal law1 the   
word mother means a parent of the female
 sex and father is defined as a parent  
of the male sex2  7#d7 there are        
important reasons to distinguish between

 the sexes with respect to athletics1   
prisons1 domestic violence shelters1    
restrooms1 and other areas1 particularly
 where biology1 safety1 and privacy are 
implicated2  7#e7 policies and laws that
 distinguish between the sexes are      
subject to intermediate constitutional  
scrutiny and permitted when they serve  
an important governmental objective and 
are substantially related to achieving  
that objective2 and  7#f7 for the       
purposes of complying with ,federal laws
 that require ,state and local          
government agencies to collect or report
 data disaggregated by sex1 such as     
,federal antidiscrimination laws1       
agencies are required to base such data 
on the biological sex of individuals at 
birth4
