The loss of religious freedom is a price too high

The intent of the grossly misnamed “Equality Act” is to erase all claims to religious freedom under the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). And it’s getting very close to passing.

If passed, the “Equality Act” will reach every corner of our lives. No one will escape its reach. It will impose an extreme LGBT and Q and abortion agenda on YOU!

It is so radical that the bill revokes the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The federal RFRA was passed in 1993. This bill restored religious freedom in America to the same level of protection it enjoyed prior to the terrible 1990 Supreme Court case that weakened the First Amendment’s “Free Exercise of Religion” protections.

RFRA passed unanimously in the House, by a 97-3 margin in the Senate and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

Even the ACLU and Americans for the Separation of Church and State agreed with Christian organizations like Liberty Counsel Action in supporting RFRA. I don’t recall any law that ever enjoyed such widespread support.

And to keep it, we can and we must stop the “Equality Act.”

Rush your urgent fax to Congress to stop the “Equality Act.”

Put simply, RFRA ensures that religious freedom is protected like it always was prior to 1990. Until the Supreme Court overturns the 1990 Smith decision, without RFRA, churches, faith-based schools, employers, and individuals will lose under the “Equality Act” because there are no exceptions or accommodations for deeply held religious beliefs.

The “Equality Act” revokes all aspects of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, leaving people of faith without a defense.

Churches, Christian schools, employers, healthcare providers, pharmacists — everyone — will be forced to accept BOTH the radical LGTB and Q agenda as well as the pro-abortion agenda.

NO ONE will be safe, as no religious exemptions will be allowed.

No school, church, business, or person will be allowed to separate boys and girls, or men from women, in housing, sleeping arrangements, locker rooms, showers, or sports. On demand, boys must be allowed to use girls’ facilities under the outrageous “Equality Act.”

Because radicals see abortion as a function of “reproductive health care,” under the bill’s requirements, NO healthcare provider or crisis pregnancy center will be able to refuse to refer or perform or participate in abortion — not a pro-life doctor or nurse, and not a Catholic hospital. Crisis pregnancy centers will be forced to refer young girls for abortions under this bill.

If the “Equality Act” passes, there will be no exceptions or exemptions. Compliance will be forced by law. Noncompliant churches, schools, and hospitals will lose tax exemption, and colleges and universities will also lose accreditation. This means that students will not be able to get student loans and will have difficulty being accepted into graduate school programs.

BUT WE CAN BEAT THIS DANGEROUS BILL. Here’s the plan ...

FIRST, we must flood every congressional office with a mountain of faxes and DEMAND they VOTE NO on the misnamed “Equality Act.”

Rush your urgent faxes to Congress to stop the “Equality Act.”

SECOND, we must pray for the Lord’s protection against the evil plan to deconstruct gender and make abortion a federal right.

In addition to this critical battle, Liberty Counsel Action continues to fight for religious freedom in other venues, defending pastors, churches, and pro-life heroes like Sandra Merritt.

We have church cases pending right now at the Supreme Court. And we just filed a major brief at the Court of Appeals on behalf of Sandra Merritt against Planned Parenthood.

We cannot fight these battles without YOU, the faithful Liberty Counsel Action supporter. Please, take advantage of the generous Challenge Grant that will DOUBLE THE IMPACT of your donation.
