Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill to codify the meaning of “woman” in state law, becoming the second female Democratic governor to nix such legislation over concerns about transgender rights.
Republicans blasted the governor’s veto of SB 1628, accusing Democrats of “showing their irresponsible disregard for the safety and well-being of women and girls in our state by killing the Arizona Women’s Bill of Rights.” “We’ve seen far too many examples of girls and women physically injured, relegated to the bench, and bumped off the winner’s podium by males competing as females,” said Ms. Kerr. “The madness needs to stop. Democrats have launched an attack against biological females.”
