Marco Rubio\u2019s (R-FL) proposal to amend a Senate bill to limit federal pregnancy programs to biological females was opposed by all 50 Democrats on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio shared the discussion of his proposed amendment in a video released on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. President, the only people who are capable of being pregnant are biological females, and therefore I think federal pregnancy programs should be limited to biological females.

So far, every single pregnancy has been a biological female. So, therefore, the only thing I am trying to do is make sure that federal law is clear that since every pregnancy that\u2019s ever existed has been a biological female that our federal laws reflect that and our federal pregnancy programs are available to the only people who are capable of getting pregnant, biological females, very simple,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) offered a strong rebuttal following Rubio\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we are facing challenges in this country and helping our constituents to lower costs, it is outrageous that Republicans are trying to define pregnancy of all things on this floor on this day after hours of voting on amendments. I urge a no vote,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio also spoke out against Democrats focusing on all-night voting focused on a climate change bill while Americans struggle with inflation, rising crime, and a growing border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile working Americans are struggling with high prices, worried about the border and terrorized by crime the Senate is spending all night voting on a democrat climate change bill,\u201d Rubio tweeted.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">While working Americans are struggling with high prices, worried about the border and terrorized by crime the Senate is spending all night voting on a democrat climate change bill <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YZYUzbbjr3\">pic.twitter.com\/YZYUzbbjr3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marcorubio\/status\/1556130127188475904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He argued that everyday Americans are \u201cbeing ignored, disrespected, and completely, completely obliterated by a bill that does absolutely nothing for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rubio\u2019s proposal follows strong comments last month by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-men-cant-get-pregnant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>, video footage from a July press conference in Putnam County, Florida, showed the governor addressing liberal activist claims that men can become pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan we actually agree that women get pregnant and not men?\u201d he asked. \u201cIt\u2019s just unbelievable some of the stuff that you\u2019re hearing about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also spoke out on the issue when biological male swimmer Lia Thomas swam in the NCAA Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving Championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have a swimmer that swims on the men\u2019s team for three years and then, all of a sudden, says they\u2019re gonna identify as a woman swimmer and swim against the women,\u201d DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/floridaphoenix.com\/2022\/05\/18\/desantis-spreads-misinformation-about-transgender-people-in-public-appearance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then they give that the national championship over these women who\u2019ve been training for a long time,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd the second place was actually from Florida, who had won a silver medal in the Olympics. So, she got robbed of a national championship because the NCAA is really trying to make us complicit in something that\u2019s false.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
