Could battles over transgenderism sink Biden’s first major legislation?

by Robert Hutchinson, MercatorNet: Some doctors say that the ‘Equality Act’ will force doctors to harm their patients. The battle in the US Congress over transgenderism and minor children could potentially sink the Biden Administration’s first major piece of legislation, the so-called “Equality Act”. Uniting both women’s rights activists and conservatives, the fight also demonstrates the degree to which the administration’s commitment to the most extreme parts of the progressive...

US House passes pro-abortion ‘Equality Act’ to write transgenderism into civil rights law

by Claire Chretien, LifeSite: The U.S. House of Representatives voted 224 to 206 today to pass the “Equality Act,” which would write transgenderism into federal civil rights law, compel medical professionals to commit abortions and transgender surgeries, and expand taxpayer-funded abortion on demand. “On occasion, Congressional leaders will purposely misname a piece of legislation to disguise its true intention. The Equality Act is the epitome of this misrepresentation,” said Rep. Vicky...

Biden’s Equality Act is not the unifying issue he thinks it is

by Mary Harrington, Unherd: President Joe Biden has announced that he will move ahead with a proposed Equality Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. A decision celebrated by Liberal America, it will be the first such legislation to be implemented at US federal level. Campaigners argue this is necessary in a nation where, in many states, it’s still legal to refuse housing or services to someone on the basis of being gay or trans. But the...

Biden’s Equality Act is a danger to women’s and conscience rights

by Ryan Anderson, New York Post: President Biden has promised to unify the nation. But candidate Joe Biden also made campaign promises to the radical wing of his party that would widen our social divides. Guess which promises are being honored. Witness the so-called Equality Act, which candidate Biden vowed to make a priority and which is set to be voted on by the House this week. What’s the Equality Act? And who could be against equality? Don’t let the name fool you. The act “updates” the law...

US House will vote on pro-abortion, pro-LGBT Equality Act next week

by David McLoone, LifeSite; The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote next week on radical pro-abortion and pro-LGBT Equality Act.

The Unfairness of the Misnamed ‘Fairness For All’ Act

The Unfairness of the Misnamed ‘Fairness For All’ Act

by Ryan T Anderson and Robert P George, SSRN: Abstract Intransigence is a vice, but there is no virtue in accepting bad compromises. The “Fairness for All” legislation is a bad compromise — and as a result, would be a misguided response to the Supreme Court’s Bostock decision. To show this is not to question the good faith of the bill’s advocates, with whom we have been in friendly dialogue for years. It’s merely to note that despite the undoubted goodwill of the bill’s proponents (and despite...
