Kansas becomes first to pass Women's Bill of Rights that defines 'woman' as someone who is 'biologically born a female' to preserve single-sex areas - like public restrooms, school sports, prisons and shelters
The bill defines a female as someone 'whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova'while 'male' refers to anyone whose reproductive system 'is developed to fertilize the ova of a female.'
Senator Erickson told the Washington Times: 'What this does is simply codify in the law the definition of sex.
'It simply says that in existing statute or law, where there is a definition of sex, it means biological male and female as determined at birth. That’s very factual, it’s very objective.'
However she said the bill does not deal with 'gender identity.'
'There are legitimate reasons to distinguish between the sexes with respect to prisons, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers and other areas where safety and privacy are needed,' Erickson added.
This bill does not create any new rights or entitlements. It simply codifies the definition of sex as biological male and female in existing statutes and laws.
It codifies the current constitutional jurisprudence and the intermediate scrutiny standard that we’ve all come to rely on to protect women’s rights, but also to recognize that there are certain situations in which men and women can be separated without violating the constitution.
