VOTE SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 28th On The Misnamed ‘Respect For Marriage Act’

Lawmakers and faith-based groups have several concerns about the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation that would codify same-sex marriage into federal law. Concerns include that the bill doesn’t have adequate protections for religious liberty. Also, it would “repeal several provisions of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – the 1996 law that received bipartisan support, including from then U.S. Sen. Joe Biden and U.S. Rep. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and from Democratic President Bill Clinton, who signed it.” Senator James Lankford (R-OK) took to the Senate floor to share his opposition to the Respect for Marriage Act, which he believes will lead to the violation of Americans’ religious liberty and their constitutional freedom to live their faith. Learn more.

Today, the Senate will debate several amendments, include religious liberty-related amendments. They need 60 votes to proceed.

Ongoing: Biden Calls On Congress To Advance The ‘Equal Rights Amendment’

Recently, Biden announced a Resolution on the ERA and called on Congress to take action. On March 17, 2021, the House passed H. J. Res. 17 to remove the deadline for the ratification of the ERA. A companion resolution (S. J. Res. 1) awaits further action in the Senate Judiciary Committee. There’s many concerns about the future of conscience and religious freedom, should this Constitutional Amendment advance federally or at the state level.
