U.S. CATHOLIC BISHOPS WARNING ON EQUALITY ACT HR. 5 # 1

U.S. CATHOLIC BISHOPS WARNINGS ON EQUALITY ACT, HR 5  # 1
By Hon. Robert Marshall, former member of the Virginia House of Delegates, (defeated Republican Congressman in 2018)
"If Christians Don't Personally Engage in Politics, It's All Over for America" p. 1-2 of 15
From LifeSite Thu. Sep 19, 2019  or  Lepanto Institute - Sep 18, 2019
    "The Equality Act, HR 5, passed by Congress on May 17, 2019, would fundamentally and radically alter Civil Rights Law to prohibit "discrimination" on the basis of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," in the same way racial discrimination is prohibited...The Equality Act would:
1. Require faith-based hospitals, doctors and nurses to participate in and/or to perform or assist with abortions or lose their medical license;
2. Require tax funding of all abortions without restrictions;
3. Mandate that any entity that provided health care for pregnancy and childbirth be required to provide abortion as a "related medical condition.";
4. Force women to share private, intimate spaces with men who "identify" as female including in bathrooms, lockers, schools, hospitals, prisons, gyms, military barracks and homeless shelters.
5. Disallow Catholic and private school single sex sports teams from competing against public school sports teams, which will no longer be permitted to have "discriminating" single sex teams;
6. Decertify Catholic and Christian schools from satisfying state compulsory attendance laws if they refuse to adopt LGBTQ policies, treating religious schools as "hate groups" comparable to the K.K.K.;
7. Forbid groups like the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Charities and Christian non-profits from receiving community block grants from local governments for housing for the disabled or seniors unless they accommodate the LGBTQ agenda including hiring those who identify as homosexual or transgender:
8. Prohibit Catholic schools and parishes from obtaining construction loans from federally chartered banks or savings institutions unless the schools and churches implement the LGBTQ agenda including hiring active homosexual and transgender teachers in same sex "marriages";
9. Remove children from the legal custody of their parents if they try to prevent their minor children from taking cancer-causing, puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones;
10. End women-only or men-only shelters serving drug addicts, the battered, and the homeless;
11. Decertify foster care and adoption agencies which do not place children with homosexual partners;
12, Require small businesses owned by Catholics to promote and affirm LGBTQ sexual behavior or face fines and/or loss of their business licenses;
13. Remove the tax-event status of Catholic churches and agencies if they fail to "celebrate" same-sex "weddings." The Equality Act would classify churches as "public accommodations" (like hotels and restaurants), prohibited from denying services on account of sexual orientation, in the same manner services cannot now to be denied on account of race....
