The House of Representatives, currently under the power of Democrats, passed H.R. 5, commonly known as the “Equality Act “ on May 14. Now, we all believe that people should be treated equally.  For instance, Hillary Clinton had her computer wiped and her team’s cell phones smashed with hammers so that the FBI couldn’t find classified documents on her illegal private server.  If you or I had done that, we would have been arrested and charged with obstruction of justice, tried and jailed.  She got a free pass.  That is not equality.

But H.R. 5 is far more insidious than evading the law and avoiding criminal prosecution for breaking the law.  And it has nothing to do with honest equality. It is about stealing parents’ rights to decide how their children are raised, about forcing doctors to break their Hippocratic Oath to “first do no harm” to their patients, about forcing Christians to go against their faith, and about ignoring true science in favor of the latest deviation touted by the far left.

The bill prohibits “discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity” and includes “sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity among the prohibited categories of discrimination or segregation.” In other words, in every public women’s bathroom in America, men and boys would enter at will, only needing to say that they “identified” as women or girls if they were challenged.  All bathrooms would be coed.  Not only all dorms, but all dorm rooms would be coed.  Do you want your 18-year-old college freshman girl sharing her dorm room with a strapping male who says he identifies as a woman?  Do you want him stripping in front of her and watching her dress and undress?  Would you feel safe with him sleeping in the next bed to your daughter? I certainly wouldn’t! But transgender individuals, those who identify as the other sex and are beginning the process to transition superficially to that sex, will have to be treated as if they are already the opposite sex or universities will be breaking the law.

The Dailey Caller interviewed Dr. Michelle Cretella, a pediatrician and executive director of the American College of Pediatricians about the “Equality Bill.”  Pediatricians and other doctors are alarmed at the implications of this bill.  We already have seen high school  and college sports teams with transgender “girls” participating on the girls’ teams. Despite the denials of the left, the transgenders always win.  The other girls have no more chance than if any other boy were on their team. Why?  Because as Dr. Cretella explains, “Look, a man on estrogen is still a man. He’s still a man. He’s doping estrogen. He’s going to be weaker and slower than men who don’t dope estrogen, but he’s still not a woman.” And even weaker than other men, he is still going to be stronger than the young women he is competing against. The left, who claim to support women’s rights, are actually eliminating the possibility of any biological girl ever winning another race, or track meet, or tennis match, or basketball game by their unscientific antics.

But the ramifications go much farther.  Parents will be required by law to start their children, even kindergarten children, on sex change hormones if the child suddenly decides he is a girl or she is a boy. If they refuse, they could be arrested and would most certainly lose their children. Parental rights will be gone. Even now, in the State of Illinois, families cannot foster children unless they agree to pay for sex changes if the foster child should ask for one.  Thus, all Christian families, who would provide safe and loving homes for these children, are no longer accepted as foster families.  

Likewise, doctors and nurses will be required by law to remove healthy sex organs from a man or woman wanting to change genders, even though they are violating their oaths by “harming” the patient.  No transgender woman will ever conceive and carry a child to the moment of birth.  No transgender man will ever produce the sperm needed to fertilize a woman’s egg.  The transgender individual may look like a man or woman when the expensive process of operations and hormone treatments (included in health insurance coverage which we normals will pay for), but he/she is still biologically the gender his/her DNA assigned at birth.  The DNA will not change.  So all the surgeries have effectively done is to sterilize the individuals.  They will never hold a son or daughter of their own blood, but then, they probably don’t want to anyway.

For Christians, this bill, if passed by the Republican Senate (which is unlikely), will now be without any recourse if their job collides with the wishes of an LGBT or transgender person (who, by the way, make up only from 1.2% to 6% of the population of 332 million people). They, like the Christian florist or the Christian baker, will be forced out of their business and fined hefty amounts of money unless the Supreme Court finds the bill unconstitutional. Christian ministers may be forced to perform marriages that conflict with their Biblical based beliefs. Lawsuits would no doubt fly in both directions, but in the meantime, many Christian ministers would be forced to resign rather than deny their faith, and many Christian merchants, like those mentioned above, would be ruined.

This crazy “equality bill” is just another step down the road that the “Party of Science” is taking away from science!  But it bears paying attention to.  Although the Republican Senate will never pass it, this bill foretells the future if we let one of the 24 Democratic loonies running for president beat President Trump in 2020 and if we don’t take back the House and hold on to the Senate. If ever an election was an important one, the next one will be!
