So where does the concern for single moms losing their jobs come into play? The First Amendment Defense Act mentions this exchange in its text and proposes that it should be illegal for the federal government to impose tax, grant or benefit sanctions on organizations that oppose same-sex marriage because of religious or moral convictions.
solicitor general, who was arguing for same-sex couples, said " it’s certainly going to be an issue." Justice Samuel Alito asked in April whether a religious school could lose its tax-exempt status if it opposes same-sex marriage, and the U.S. The authors of the First Amendment Defense Act attempted to address how the court’s decision could affect religious institutions in a situation that came up during oral arguments. Some Americans saw the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize gay marriage as a potential affront to their religious beliefs under the First Amendment. With that out of the way, we’ll explain why some advocates for women are concerned about its wording. Only about 15 percent of bills make it past the committee stage, according to. But to say the bill has been passed is just wrong. This, of course, doesn’t preclude either chamber from getting around to it. The Senate has also not moved on its companion. But it has not been debated, much less voted on, in committee or on the House floor. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is a conservative response to the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize gay marriage.īefore we get into the bill’s language and possibly worrisome interpretations, we want to make one thing clear: This bill has not passed the GOP-led House.įar from it.The bill has been submitted to a committee for consideration. It’s clear from a cached image of Occupy Democrats’ website and a Huffington Post article that the meme’s underlying beef is with the First Amendment Defense Act, HR 2802, introduced by Republicans on June 17. We wanted to know if the meme is accurate: Did House Republicans really pass a bill that makes it legal for single moms to be fired by their employers? The meme was shared more than 60,000 times, suggesting a lot of people found the news outrageous. "House Republicans just passed a bill that makes it legal for single mothers to be fired by their employers," it says. A meme shared by the liberal Facebook group Occupy Democrats calls out Republicans for an alarming affront to women.
