West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is taking the fight to protect the integrity of women’s sports all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Attorney General made the announcement during a news conference Thursday where he was joined by Lainey Armistead, West Virginia State University women's soccer alumna.

“Back in April, the Fourth Circuit handed down a 2-1 ruling that reversed an earlier decision upholding the West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act. I promised back then that I would keep fighting for the safety, wellbeing and fairness in women’s sports, and now I’m keeping that promise,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “We are confident in the merits of our defense of this obviously constitutionally permissible law, which through and through complies with Title IX and the Constitution—that’s why we are taking this to the Supreme Court.”

“West Virginia’s law protects fairness and safety for girls and women in sports. It’s really that simple”
