Pennsylvania’s current legislative session in its closing days and PA Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa (D-Allegheny) is pushing for a discharge resolution to force a vote on Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta’s HB300, a misguided piece of legislation that poses widespread threats to religious liberty and women’s rights in our state. 

Note: Last year, the PA House of Representatives narrowly passed this legislation on almost party lines, with all but one Democrat and two Republicans voting for this harmful bill.

Here’s some of what this harmful bill would do:

1. HB300 would force doctors to prescribe puberty blockers and perform “sex-reassignment” surgeries.

2. HB300 would force women’s shelters to accept biological males.

3. HB300 would “redefine freedom” by forcing people to use someone’s preferred pronouns.

4. HB300 would allow biological males to play in women’s only sports.

5. HB300 would jeopardize hospitals and the rights of medical professionals.

6. HB300 would threaten churches and religious schools and ministries with lawsuits for hiring based on their shared mission.

7. HB300 would attack Christians like cake artist Jack Phillips, forcing creatives to make messages that go against their beliefs.

“This harmful bill, which passed the PA House earlier this session by a narrow margin with all but one Democrat and only two Republicans voting yes, would put many citizens, religious ministries and faith-based community services, faith-based business owners and professionals, and religious schools in jeopardy.” PA Family President Michael Geer
