Supreme Court rulings on transgender athletes, birthright citizenship draw reactions in Pennsylvania

Two Supreme Court decisions issued Friday prompted sharply different reactions from advocacy groups, lawmakers and legal observers in Pennsylvania, with one ruling addressing transgender athletes in school sports and the other reaffirming birthright citizenship.

In a 6-3 decision, the court upheld state bans that prohibit transgender girls from participating in girl's and women's sports.

The ruling was welcomed by Pennsylvania Republican state Rep. Barbara Gleim, who has introduced legislation as part of the Fairness in Women's Sports Act.
