The misnamed “Equality Act” will override parents’ rights and harm children. It will fundamentally damage the parent-child relationship. We’ll expose below just how dangerous and far reaching this bill is.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said, “This eviscerates the First Amendment. [It] guts thousands of years of religious beliefs; this will mean the end of America as we know it.” In addition to throwing out religious freedom, this bill will be a nightmare for parents and children.

We must stop this bill, now labeled HR 15. The battle will be fierce because all 212 Democrats are co-sponsoring the bill. If only a few Republicans support HR 15, it will pass in the House — even over the Speaker’s objections.

The battle in the House will be fierce, but we can stop this bill. We MUST stop this bill. We need to put enormous pressure on the House and keep up the pressure. — Your Faith & Liberty team

While we were celebrating Independence Day, radicals are doing everything possible to destroy this great nation with extreme ideology and twisted immorality.

First, if someone pressures or persuades a young girl to get an abortion, she will have no one to protect her from this life-and-death decision. The Equality Act will make abortion through all nine months a federal right. It will preempt every state law, including parental notification or consent and informed consent. The parents will have no say, nor will the hospitals, health care workers and pharmacists. Insurance companies cannot refuse coverage, and our taxes will fund the killing of innocent life.

If anyone listed above resists an abortion (including parents), they can be sued by the U.S. Department of Justice, private individuals, and organizations — including Planned Parenthood.

Second, if the child becomes confused by the propaganda at schools fueled by the Equality Act and thinks you can choose your sex like you choose your clothes, there will be no one to help. The child can demand hormone-blocking drugs (stopping puberty), opposite-sex hormones, and even surgery to remove healthy body parts.

Again, the parents will have no say, nor will the hospitals, health care providers, or pharmacists. Insurance and taxpayer funds will cover the expense. If the parents object, this will be considered child abuse, and the child could be removed from the home. We are not exaggerating — this is already happening even without the Equality Act.

Third, if the child asks the parents for help to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions, behaviors, or gender confusion, there will be no one to help. The Equality Act will make it illegal to provide any such counsel to help overcome these unwanted attractions, behaviors, or confusion. In fact, this bill makes such counsel illegal for ALL AGES and FOR ANY COUNSEL — licensed and unlicensed — and this includes pastoral counseling.

Fourth, this dangerous bill will require faith-based adoption and foster care ministries to place children in LGBTQ homes. And remember, the “Q” encompasses nearly 550 paraphilias — which includes pedophilia!

Parents found out that the public school where their daughter attended hid from them the fact that the school referred their daughter for “gender transition” hormone-blocking drugs. The parents were never informed!

But it gets worse:

When the parents discovered what was going on behind their backs, they stepped in to protect their daughter. They stopped the hormone drugs and preparation for surgical removal of her breasts and female organs. The local officials claimed that stopping this “care” was actually “child abuse.”

Under the Equality Act, this tragic situation would become the norm.

If the Equality Act passes, loving care, and professional help for children will be considered child abuse and illegal. All parents could be forced to choose between participating in — and even being forced to encourage — their child to take hormones and receive mutilating surgeries or risk losing their child altogether.

In a horrific twist of irony, if such children are removed from their home, under this bill, they can only be placed in homes that affirm and condone LGBTQ behavior. The “Q” gives special privileges for “queer” or “questioning” children and adults. Placement agencies and ministries will not be allowed to refuse such placement — even with a “minor-attracted person” (a pedophile).

We know this sounds impossible — but it is true. WE MUST STOP THIS BILL!

This law could force a gender-confused child out of a Christian home and in a few hours place the child under the control of a pedophile, and this child’s parents will have no say.

But you can help stop this horrific situation from happening now.

We can fight back and defeat this bill. If we win, it will save millions of lives from abortion, confusion, and abuse, and prevent costly court fees and expenses. That's why we’re asking you to act now by faxing Congress to oppose this outrageous bill — and protect your family's freedom.

WE CAN STOP THIS BILL IN THE HOUSE ...

The narrative is spun on Capitol Hill. “How can you support the Respect for Marriage Act that passed earlier, but not support Equality Act?” Even though the Equality Act will go SO MUCH FURTHER than the bill already passed.

We’re worried that radicals will have enough Republicans to pass this. We must block this in the House. Leadership is strong in the House against it. But if there are enough Republican representatives who support it, House leadership will not be able to stop it.

WE NEED EVERY VOTE AND EVERY VOICE. We need your voice NOW to send a strong message. STOP this bill from becoming law with your fax to Congress today.

Keep us fighting by taking advantage of our Challenge Grant that will DOUBLE the impact of your gift. We can't fight effectively without you!

Thank you for your generosity and for partnering with us in defense of life, family, and freedom!
