Some of the slides from that presentation:
●“The Do No Harm Act will uphold our country’s founding principle of religious freedom – that everyone has the freedom to believe as they want, but our laws cannot allow anyone to use their religious beliefs to harm others.
●The Religious Freedom Restoration Act was intended to protect free exercise and religious minorities, yet some are misusing this law to ignore nondiscrimination protections and deny people access to health care, jobs and government-funded services.
●This exploitation of religious freedom especially harms LGBTQ people, women, religious minorities and the nonreligious by undermining their civil rights and equality.
●The Do No Harm Act would preserve RFRA’s power to protect religious exercise while ensuring it cannot be used to cause harm.
RFRA has been misused to allow:
●Government contractors and other taxpayer-funded organizations to violate our nation’s fundamental civil rights laws and discriminate against employees and applicants.
●Taxpayer-funded foster care agencies to turn away potential parents because they are the “wrong” religion or LGBTQ, denying children in foster care the opportunity to find a loving home.
