Former Solicitor General Ken Starr argues that the Equality Act is not only a “clear and present danger” to the freedom of Americans’ conscience but also the Biden administration’s “greatest threat” to religious liberty.

“The text of the Equality Act explicitly forbids individuals from using the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) to sue based on claims within the Equality Act,” explained Christian Headlines, which noted that senators were told that the proposed law would close or punish thousands of religious organizations . “That law […]

The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
