The act, which the House is expected to pass for the second time in nine months on Thursday before sending it to a now-Democratic Senate, opens up swinging on Christian concepts of morality in marriage, sex, and identity.
Unhappy with the restrictions on eligibility that Catholic and other religious adoption agencies put on families looking to take children into their homes, the act seeks to nationalize Massachusetts, New York, and California's outright bans on religious adoption agencies' right to operate according to conscience.
The Equality Act would take the treatment Phillips has received over his views on marriage and gender, and nationalize it.
According to the Equality Act, religious nurses, doctors, and hospitals unwilling to kill an unborn child or perform a potentially mentally destabilizing, deeply invasive, medically unsound sex-change surgery could be legally discriminating.
While the Little Sisters were able to beat back their antagonists - who were led by President Joe Biden's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra - using 1993's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, this last line of defense would be useless against the Equality Act.
"The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993," the act reads, "Shall not provide a claim concerning, or a defense to a claim under, a covered title, or provide a basis for challenging the application or enforcement of a covered title." Under the Equality Act, after all, American law is a tool to attack our rights of conscience, our religious freedom, our businesses, our schools, our families, our neighbors, our priests, and our churches.
How dare anyone expect to use the law to defend against it? While the act is nearly certain to pass the Democratic House of Representatives, its fate in the Senate is less assured.
