The bill originally passed in the Kentucky House of Representatives 70-23 and in the state Senate 26-9.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cSB 83 requires a student to compete in sports according to the gender assigned at birth. Biological male athletes who seek to compete in female sports will not be allowed to participate,\u201d The Daily Wire highlighted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The move comes as other legislatures around the country are passing pro-life legislation in anticipation of an upcoming Supreme Court ruling on a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Thursday, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis (FL) signed a measure that bans abortions after 15 weeks gestation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-bans-late-term-abortions-in-florida\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, \u201c[t]he law, HB 5, allows exceptions when the mother\u2019s life is at risk or in danger of \u2018irreversible physical impairment,\u2019 or if the unborn baby has a fetal abnormality. It does not offer exceptions for rape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe are here today to protect life,\u201d DeSantis said Thursday before the bill signing. \u201cWe are here today to defend those who can\u2019t defend themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThis is a time when these babies have beating hearts, they can move, they can taste, they can see, they can feel pain, they can suck their thumbs, and they have brain waves,\u201d he added, referencing babies who are 15 weeks or older. \u201cAnd so this will represent the most significant protections for life that have been enacted in this state in a generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
