BREAKING: Alabama Senate Passes ‘What is a Woman Act’ to Protect Women’s Rights

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Senate has passed the What is a Woman Act, a landmark bill aimed at ensuring clarity in state law by defining fundamental sex-based terms such as male, female, man, woman, mother, and father.

The legislation, spearheaded by Senator April Weaver (R-Brierfield) and Representative Susan DuBose (R-Hoover), reinforces biological distinctions and protects the integrity of women’s rights in Alabama. "This bill is rooted in biological truth and common sense," said Sen. Weaver. "Men are born men, women are born women, and one can never become the other. Alabama refuses to let radical ideologies erase what it means to be a woman."

The legislation has been praised by conservative leaders and women's advocacy organizations as a crucial step in safeguarding women’s legal protections and spaces. Rep. DuBose emphasized that the bill reflects the values of Alabama voters. "Alabamians clearly delivered an election mandate to preserve women’s rights," DuBose stated. "This is not controversial—it is common sense. The momentum is on our side."

National women’s organizations have also applauded the bill. Paula Scanlan, an ambassador for Independent Women’s Voice, voiced strong support, stating, "It’s not anti-anyone to be pro-woman. Rep. DuBose has been a tireless champion for women’s rights. Her ‘What is a Woman Act’ ensures activists can’t redefine biological reality."

Alabama Republican party Chairman John Wahl applauds the passage of the bill, "I’m proud to see this important bill move forward. Defining biological reality in state law is just common sense."

With Alabama leading the way, the passage of this bill sets a precedent for other states to follow in protecting the meaning of womanhood and reinforcing biological distinctions in law. The bill now moves to the Alabama House for further consideration.
