Banning biological males from women's sports is a priority

While the legislature did pass a ban on biological males competing in women's sports, they allowed it to expire in four years.

Ashcroft sent Blunt a letter asking him to reverse his stance and work to block the Respect for Marriage Act from becoming law. Ashcroft noted that Missouri's Constitution defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman and Blunt should honor the 70% of Missourians who voted to add that language to the constitution in 2004.
