OFFICE OF PUBLIC POLICY | 2014 | third_quarter | CIV | On August 21, we urged Congress to reject a set of bills that would force the government to fund adoption and foster agencies that discriminate against families based on religion, keeping children in need from having a better life with loving families because of religious disapproval of nontraditional relationships. The Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act of 2014 (S. 2706, H.R. 5285), proposed by Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), would allow adoption and foster agencies that receive government support to deny services to same-sex married couples, unmarried heterosexual and same-sex couples, and individuals who belong to other religions, or none at all - yet continue to receive taxpayer funds. Moreover, if this bill were passed, states that refuse to fund discriminatory religious agencies would lose 15 percent of their federal funding for child welfare services. On September 9, we urged Congress to pass the Every Child Deserves a Family Act (H.R. 2028, S. 1069). Proposed by Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), the bill would "prohibit discrimination in adoption or foster care placements based on the sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status of any prospective adoptive or foster parent, or the sexual orientation or gender identity of the child involved." | Food & Drug Administration (FDA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,President of the U.S.,SENATE | 10350 | 0 | 0 | 2014-10-31T13:51:37.490000-04:00 |
