Back in October, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi told an audience at Harvard University that if the Democrats retook the House, one of her top legislative priorities would be to pass the misnamed Equality Act, a bill that would impose radical sexual ideology on the nation.
Democrats took the House, and Pelosi wasn’t bluffing. She’s now pushing a bill that would undo some of the most significant achievements of the Trump administration. Here’s how.
The Equality Act adds the phrase “sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity)” to our nation’s civil rights laws that ban discrimination on the basis of race. This means the law would suddenly treat people as racists if they dare to dissent from the left’s ideology on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
Here are the major Trump victories that the Equality Act would undo.
1. The Equality Act would force employers to cover abortion, and medical professionals to perform or assist in performing abortions.
When the Obama administration tried to force this same policy in its very last months in office, a federal judge declared it unlawful. When the Trump administration came into office, the Trump Justice Department agreed with that judge and did not appeal his ruling, which placed a 50-state injunction on that regulation.
Should the Equality Act become law, this abortion policy would become the law of the land, undermining President Donald Trump’s significant pro-life record.
2. The Equality Act would force employers to pay for sex “reassignment” procedures in their health insurance plans, and require medical professionals to perform them.
Think Hobby Lobby and Little Sisters of the Poor, but only worse. If a health care plan covers mastectomies in the case of cancer, but not in the case of “reassignment,” the Equality Act would deem this illegal “discrimination.” So, too, if a doctor chooses to perform mastectomies in the case of cancer but not for sex “reassignment” purposes. That doctor would be guilty of illegal “discrimination.”
Thankfully, when the Obama administration attempted to impose this mandate, a federal judge struck it down, and the Trump administration agreed with the judge and did not appeal the ruling. Should the Equality Act become law, it would undo Trump’s policy of protecting the freedom of medical doctors to not perform “reassignment” procedures if they deem them bad medicine.
3. The Equality Act would force all schools and businesses to open their women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, and sports teams to boys who “identify as” girls and to men who “identify as” women.
The Obama administration imposed this transgender mandate on schools in all 50 states, and thankfully the Trump administration reversed the misguided policy during its first weeks of office. But, should the Equality Act become law, it would override the Trump policy and would threaten the privacy, safety, and equality of women and girls across the country.
4. The Equality Act could be used to force the military to pay for “reassignment” procedures and force the military to accept recruits suffering from gender dysphoria who are not combat-ready.
The Trump administration has implemented a careful, nuanced policy that allows people who identify as transgender to serve in the military—provided they no longer suffer from gender dysphoria and serve in accordance with their biological sex. But should the Equality Act become law, this Trump policy could be deemed “discrimination.”
5. The Equality Act would force faith-based adoption agencies to either violate their conviction that every child deserves both a mother and a father or to stop serving children in need altogether.
Thankfully, the Trump administration has taken initial steps to protect adoption agencies from these misguided policies. Additional steps are needed. But if the Equality Act became law, it would force all adoption agencies in all 50 states to either violate their convictions or close their doors.
6. The Equality Act would force a variety of small business owners to violate their beliefs about marriage, sexuality, and gender.
At the state level, this has happened to bakers, florists, photographers, and even funeral home owners.
Thankfully the Trump administration has supported these small business owners as their cases proceeded through the court system. But should the Equality Act become law, it would bring the full force of the federal government against these small business owners, treating them as violators of federal civil rights law.
7. The Equality Act, in general, threatens the freedom of speech, freedom of association, and free exercise of religion rights of countless people.
Anyone who believes we are created male and female, and that male and female are created for each other, will be at risk. This means Orthodox Jews, Roman Catholics, Evangelical Christians, Latter-day Saints, Muslims, and people of no particular faith tradition but who take science seriously will be on the wrong side of federal civil rights law.
Thankfully, the Trump administration has championed freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, and the rights of conscience. All of this would be at risk should the Equality Act become law.
Hopefully, the Trumpster can throw that big VETO net of his over this preposterous Equality Act and squash Pelosi and her Demoncrats.
When I read these responses I feel encouraged but we must stand strong against this destruction of our traditional and Biblical based values. Hard to believe that in the name of political correctness and opportunity, Nancy Pelosi would sacrifice her own grandchildren to this depraved cultural mandate.
Wonder why it is, that when ever you try and point out the blatantly obvious in frank and precise wording. People get offended by the truth. I’d really like anybody to prove me wrong on my last entry about perv loving pelosi !!! Freedom of speech does not stop at your feelings !! The freaks on the left say anything they please and lie about everything. I should have the ability to say anything too. BECAUSE ITS TRUE !!! And you would know that if you look it up !!! Oh well, ignore me. You will find out soon enough. Remember speech is And unalienable right by God Almighty. Unalienable rights don’t come from an idiot behind a desk !!!
How has the Democratic party become such a HATE America party. Only reason is they want POWER to again become the ruling class to lead by their standards. Which by may opinion would cause America to fail and become like a third world country.
Nancy Pelosi hasn’t heard from her head in years. All she cares about is having that gavel. She could not care less about Americans. She needs to be put out to pasture and not be allowed to have a say in anything. It’s so good that Trump is our president. Can you imagine what America would be like with Pelosi and the other socialists in charge?
IMPEACH PELOSI RIGHT NOW!! GET RID OF THIS EVIL SOCIALIST!!
It is sad to say the Democratic Party leadership prove over and over how egregious, anti-American and sectarian they are. Godless power hungry world order surreptitious socialists with no value for individual freedoms guaranteed under our Constitution and Bill of Rights. They must be removed from government and tried for treason.
Wouldn’t President Trump still have to sign this bill before it becomes a law?
This is America, not a dictatorship Pelosi. Impose what you will, but you will fail for we are not under your warped philosophy (you ain’t some cheap dictator, rather a single person). elections have become sick as well as some elected! We can make up our minds just fine. Dweeb!
The Democratic Party leaders and their lame political members are so satanic in this thinking that one has to feel sorry for them. We must continue to fight for what is right, pray for them to convert and resist their efforts to change society as we have known it and for the ways God intended us to follow. If you can honestly believe the left is the way to go, vote democratic. Otherwise dust off your feet and vote red. As for me and my house we will follow the L-rd.
I believe to impose doctors and employers to pay for abortions or transgender reassignment is taking away our moral Conscience and third amendment rights. Freedom of religion, speech (etc.) That’s like robbing Peter to pay Paul. If people wish to do this after age 18 that’s their choice but let them pay for it out of their own pocket. If Doctors wish to perform abortions or sex changes…it needs to be their choice. Same with Christian Adoption ( their choice ). Or independent adoption agency’s …their choice. None of this should be imposed or ordered by the courts or become law. It’s simple but Nancy Pelosi ,is turning this into a horror film. This is wrong at every level.
When a person claims to be a transgender person they are essentially claiming “intersex privilege.” In other words, it’s a person who is transgender and claiming an intersex genital history she or he doesn’t actually have. Why would someone do that? Because, stupidly, many people generously accept innate (in-born) sex variation but they won’t forgive sex, gender, and sexual orientation variation that they think is non-innate. Thus, some transgender people feel obligated to lie and/or to fantasize that they were “born with both sets of genitals.” Some also fantasize about this for sexual reasons. I am not attributing these behaviors to any particular individuals, by the way, but I will say that most people I’ve met who fit this category are autogynephilic transsexuals who have not (yet) made sense of who they are.
Autogynephilia is defined as a male’s propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. It is the paraphilia that is theorized to underlie transvestism and some forms of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism.
My last comment is that abortion is murder pure and simple.
Obstruct, destroy bend and twist that is the demoncrats legacy!
Satan personified!
We have no one to blame but the Republicans. They had the house and did nothing.
The woman is truly crazy as a March Hare. It still amazes me that the mainstream media even pays attention to her and further amazes me that someone with ideas so preposterous is Speaker of the House, much less even in any type of political office. Maybe not so surprising though: she’s from Commiefornia and her electorate there are as greedy and stupid as she is.
My wife and I got so fed up with Kalifornia that we moved to Arizona three weeks ago, leaving the corruption and legislative insanity behind.
I foresee the day when liberals will be so affected by the EVIL legislation their politicians have passed that even they will join in a national push to revolt against the trampling of our liberty and freedom that were once present in this country.
demon-crats are domestic terrorists, and are a direct threat to the Republic.
This is about votes and only votes for the democ ratic party,but there are people that will fall for this socialist scheme and will vote to destroy AMERICA.
There’s nothing “equal” about anything this rum pot sot is advocating. Just more ways for the lazy libs to pass off their irresponsible behaviors on those that work for a living.
$: So, you know how close to the end of the spear the DNC’ommunistPutinestas are. If this should pass congress and become law you will see a really bad thing happen. They are destroying our Constitution which means our country will no longer be able to function and the left will be dictators of us. That alone will bring a civil war and that will not be pretty. Ya better think it over while you still can!
First and foremost God doesn’t make mistakes. That means if He decides you to be male or female than that’s the final word. We are becoming a bunch of mad scientists, trying to alter God’s plan for us. Hitler tried and failed. I know President Trump will not pass such a bill! I am praying that God will intervene and put all this evil where in belongs in the Pit of Hell ! May God Bless the United States ?? of America and May God Bless President Trump!!
Catholics, understand that the Catholic Church had declared Socialism, Communism, and Marxism to be heresy and apostate in 1849,1864, 1891. 1931, and 1949! Any person or organization, regardless of the title they claim, who believes in Socialism, Communism, or Marxism is outside of the Catholic Church!! A Sign on a building does not make it either Catholic or Christian! Know them by their actions!!!!!
A vote, any vote, for or with a Democrat, any Democrat, is a vote for Communism!!! It is also a vote to destroy Christianity. First, eliminate the Democrats and then take on the RINO’s!!!!!
We are closer to the edge than I can believe. Better start paying attention and taking action at election time.
Makes me come to fully realize wot a CLEAR N PRESENT DANGER they are to our way of life we’ve had in this country. God Help Us.
Usual Democrat garbage,to legitimize nonsense Pelosi must be insane.
We need a slow boat to Venezuela with ALL the Democrats on board.
God’s word is clear. this country will do whatever it wants. i have never seen such horrible happenings and the terrible politically correct..if these laws happen, if you are a believer it is all signs of last days, Jesus coming. this is where those of us will keep our eyes and beliefs. there will be no other hope except in the Lord.
i probably sound preachy but we hlave to hang onto what is real..and our country s really the only one who accepts everyone.
Sad…sad state of affairs.
The Commucrats are so hell bent on trying to get rid of our Duly elected President, they don’t care if they destroy our great country. Has anyone ever tried to email Fancy Nancy at here Government email address on her website? If you’re not in her District, you’ll get an notice saying she gets soooo many emails, if you’re not in her district, she doesn’t care what you think and doesn’t want to hear from you! WAIT A MINUTE…. Isn’t she the Speaker of the House, and therefore answerable to ALL U.S. CITIZENS???
President Donald J. Trump has been in office for a little over 2 years, and done more in that time to correct the problems Obama and his Commucrat party created, while the Commucrat House has done NOTHING but attempt to obstruct our President. To me, these are all treasonous actions. And treason is punishable by the death penalty! I suggest that would be the greatest thing that could happen to rectify our Nation’s Problems
Why do all of the (d) bills have titles in direct opposition to their intent?
Ya gotta hand it to the left; they never, ever give up. Republicans would have formed a circular firing squad and thrown Trump in the middle, but not the left. That’s why they keep slowly getting their way. Like termites, they just keep eating away.
This proves that Nancy and her gang are insane and extremely jealous of Pres. Trump and all the good he has accomplished for our nation. My question: why do the democrats want to destroy our beautiful, fair country? If they gain power, sooner or later, they will be pushed out of their safe places. They must be gone before they do more damage. God help us and God bless America.
This woman is Crazy…. and has to be stopped
It seems to me that the Dumocrats are hell bent on destroying what nature hands out. Killing preborn babies,, forcing doctors to kill them. There are two sexes, male and female. It doesn’t matter what you feel you are, when your bones are dug up 1000 years from now, if you were chopped and channeled, you would still be a male.if the female has an addadictome, she will still be female. What would be monumental is for the medical field to declare liberalism a severe mental disorder requiring them to relinquish all their rights and to be institutionalized, for the betterment of America and the safety of her people.
Pelosi belongs in jail
She is a traitor and an idiot.
Would this extend to the restrooms in Congressional building restrooms?
There’s always a “progression/escalation” with leftists pushing their ideology: Suggestion, “Education”/propaganda, Legislation, Fines, Jail/prison time, Re-education, and lastly Elimination. It starts off as social suggestions, but if you fail to comply ultimately you wind up in the gulag. We’re quickly approaching the fines/jail/prison time.
She needs to be in a retirement home for old people not in government her mind is old and she is nuts put her out.
It better never ever be allowed and the senate better junk it I know the a President will veto it and it better stay vetoed Revoke Security clearances all Benefits Revoked most of Congress really is crazy needs locked up for their own good and the Country
Good thing it will never get to the floor of the Senate. Its just another waste of time in the House which has accomplished nothing in two years!
I would like to see the whole Dem party dissolve. To see them lose the millions of dollars they stole. They sure haven’t done any honest and hard work to earn it. It amazes me the poor still vote for them and their cities have not improved at all. This includes the Socialists and Muslims that are in the Dem Congress and Senate
One comment, Nancy Pelosi has the same thinking as most Democrats, Liberals and Socialist they all want to control all American Citizens. Their agenda is to strip us of our Freedom and Rights to choose, we don’t need any new bills or laws like this.
Ms. Pelosi if you want to do something then y’all need to Protect America by Closing Our Borders and Securing America now.
So, if I own a business and refuse to serve half naked people and have a sign on the door stating that with no shoes or shirts you get no service, that will be tossed too? Do I as a business owner not have a right to refuse service to anyone? I cannot believe that there are people who would actually believe in that evil woman’s agenda, words or can look her in the face and see anything but hatred and bigotry. Please join me in praying for our nation. I do not think we are strong enough to beat them in the
governing bodies of either house or senate. Shame on us, Shame on the people who allow this. I am considering an alternative living space. Perhaps the mountains of Tibet would allow an old woman from Texas who has outlived her reason on earth to move there peacefully.
Well, the only answer is to turn this nation back to God. We have become so smart, God has turned us loose, and to this we have decided we know more than the creator and He will leave us alone, but He has sent a redeemer, Jesus Christ, if we turn to him God will take control and this nation will become a God fearing, God following nation again and then we will become the nation we were set out to be. A CHRISTIAN NATION!
It will not pass. No one is crazy enough to want to pay for all theses ‘Personal Liberties’ and threaten extinction of the Free Republic we enjoy. Read the constitution.
Wow! Just WOW! Pelosi and her radical party will destroy the very fiber of the country with this PC BS and nonsense. There are TWO sexes.. anything else is a mental problem that should be handled individually- case by case. Some 2% of the population is LGBTQ LMSMFT,DDT, fart.. so why are they dictating ‘normalcy’ to NORMAL people? They can say it and claim it all they want- a lie is never the truth. Abnormal is ABNORMAL. Male is male and female is female. To say anything else is blasphemy- they are saying that they know more and better than God!
Anything to legitimize the killing of babies, is the new socialist Dems motto.
Back to socialization of our COUNTRY. She has made a bloody fortune over holding this job and cheating the USA. GET RID of her and never to be in politics ever again!
Have you wondered where some of Pelosi’s illogical, sadistic, and ridiculous ideas come? I have given up using moral and logical arguments as an attempt to change followers and supporters of “Pelosi-types” and the socialists. Their ultimate goal is destruction of the Republic. Anybody expressing such socialist and totalitarian ideas must be voted out of office. Voter actions not words make the difference.
More mindless liberal dribble from a completely drugged crazed Commiefornia dumbass.
