"Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn as a haven for political and religious diversity....SB 613 would punish Pennsylvanians for their religious and moral beliefs....SB 613 was introduced as a Senate counterpart to the Fairness Act, which was reintroduced in the House as HR 1410....Just last month, the city of Philadelphia halted the placements of two Christian foster care agencies —Catholic Social Services and Bethany Christian Services— because of their religious beliefs about the nature of the family. The agencies are now under investigation for discrimination under the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance, the city’s sexual orientation and gender identity policy.....SB 613 would leave regular Pennsylvanians constantly vulnerable to be targeted by the government for their beliefs.... Pennsylvania should uphold its rich history of peace and diversity and abandon this dangerous initiative" (Daily Signal, 4/25/18).
