Date: November 29, 2022
Subject: An Attack on Religious Rights
Description: This bill, the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act," is a trojan horse that will be used to decimate religious liberty. This legislation would force people of faith and religious-affiliated institutions to violate their sincerely-held beliefs. Those individuals who choose to adhere to tenets of their faith and moral convictions would face costly litigation. And for religious-affiliated institutions, the legislation would empower President Biden's politicized IRS to threaten their tax-exempt status. Sen. Lee (R-UT) offered an amendment which would have given these necessary protections which are not included in this bill.
Result: Bill Passed, 61-36
