The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Sara Beth Nolan regarding Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s signing Monday of SB 8, a bill that protects women and girls’ privacy based on the biological differences between males and females:
“Women and girls should not be forced to sacrifice their privacy and safety in the name of promoting gender ideology. Allowing men to invade girls’ most intimate spaces—including locker rooms, sleeping areas, or restrooms—compromises their dignity. SB 8 ensures that girls’ private spaces in domestic violence shelters, correctional facilities, public higher educational institutions, public schools, and government buildings are not open to men, but instead prioritizes the privacy of everyone in Texas. We commend the strong leadership of Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Speaker Dustin Burrows, Senator Mayes Middleton, Representative Valoree Swanson, Representative Angelia Orr, and Texas Values for standing on behalf of women and young girls across the state.”
