California District 1 Congressman, Doug LaMalfa, is disgusted with H.R. 5 bill – the so-called Equality Act that just passed the House by a vote of 224 to 206. Most Republicans voted against it, but didn’t have enough to stop it. The bill will now go to the U.S. Senate for the final vote, where the senate is split 50 Democrats to 50 Republicans. I checked, but could not find when it will be in front of the senate.
LaMalfa didn’t mince any words, when blasting the Equality Act. Here is what he said: “The catastrophic and misleadingly named Equality Act is an attack on women and would unleash countless consequences, including erasing women’s rights and opportunities, eroding parental rights, and threatening the free exercise of faith so foundational to our freedom. Schools nationwide would be forced to allow boys and men into women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and even onto women’s athletic teams. Parents objecting to their child’s desire to be ‘gender fluid’ could have custody stripped from them by the federal government. Even a doctor whose conscience prevented her from mutilating a child with gender reassignment surgery could have her practice taken away. Put simply, this bill is Washington-mandated wokeness that rejects both common sense and science at the expense of all Americans, especially children and women, as well as our fundamental rights.”
