THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS UNDER ATTACK

The freedom of religion is under attack

America was founded on freedom of religion.
But this freedom is under attack in Washington, DC. Two newly signed bills could set a precedent for other local governments to intervene in the religious beliefs of Americans.
  • The Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Act: The bill forces pro-life employers in the District to cover elective, surgical abortions in their health plans.
     
  • The Human Rights Amendment Act: This bill forces educational organizations into promoting and condoning lifestyles, orientations, or belief that go against their religious convictions. Under the Human Rights Amendment Act, a religious school could be forced to host a gay pride day, “coming out” day, or support a student group dedicated to furthering LGBT activities.
Here’s the good news: Congress can stop this violation of liberty.
>> Learn how Congress can stop this.
Congress has the power to overturn any law made in Washington, DC. In order to stop this, lawmakers must introduce and pass a disapproval resolution for the two bills.
Find out more about this fight and what the next steps are in urging Congress to take a stand.
Sincerely,

Russ Vought
Vice President
Heritage Action for America
