Washington, DC-Congressman Warren Davidson released the following statement after voting no on a bill that threatens women and parents' rights.

“Parental rights and women's rights are at risk with the so-called Equality Act, which attacks our freedoms of speech, religion, and conscience. The bill creates a whole new class of discrimination against parents, who are looking out for the best interests of their children. When it comes to minor children making potentially irreversible decisions, from minor injuries to transgender surgery, parental rights in guiding such decisions should be affirmed not attacked by misguided legislation. People need to oppose this anti-Constitution anti-religious freedom act.”
