FRC Publishes “ENDA Litigation Nightmare”

ENDA,

Family Research Council has published a fact sheet titled “The ENDA Litigation Nightmare.”

The fact sheet outlines examples of litigation we could see in our nation’s courts if Congress passes the so-called “Employment Non-Discrimination Act” — a bill that would inject sexual preferences and expression into the workplace.

FRC also released a statement today about religious exemptions written into the bill, calling the exemptions insufficient.

“The amendment added to ENDA today does virtually nothing to expand the already extremely narrow ‘religious exemption,’ and will do nothing to protect non-profits and businesses that operate from a faith perspective. Senators may be looking for political cover from this amendment, but ENDA removes the ability of non-profits, para-church ministries, and individual business owners to make their own decisions about appropriate conduct in the workplace.”

ENDA: Sen. Pryor Supports It; Sen. Boozman Opposes It

Homosexuality,

sen-pryor-photosen-boozman-photoLate yesterday Senators Pryor and Boozman cast important votes on the so-called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).

This bill is not about preventing discrimination. It is about injecting sexual preferences and sexual expression into the workplace.

Yesterday, Senator Pryor voted in support of ENDA. Senator Boozman voted against it. You can read a breakdown of the votes here.

The United States Senate is expected to take a final vote on ENDA today to pass it and send it for consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives.

ENDA runs roughshod over religious employers, including Christian publishing companies and bookstores; it treats conscientious disagreement with homosexual and trangender lifestyles as bigotry; it will allow men who “self-identify” as women to use women’s restrooms and locker rooms in the workplace, and vice versa; its ambiguities can only be clarified through expensive and time-consuming litigation at the expense of our nation’s taxpayers and employers.

Family Research Council and Heritage Foundation have written extensively about the problems this bill poses.

Heritage Foundation: ENDA Threatens Fundamental Civil Liberties

Homosexuality,

sen-boozman-photo sen-pryor-photoWe have written recently about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which — despite its name — is not so much about preventing discrimination as it is injecting sexual expression into the workplace and workplace decisions.

The Heritage Foundation has written a fact sheet outlining ENDA and the problems it would create. A few of those problems include:
