Would have outlawed Codes of Conduct of Religious Institutions related to abortion or sexual behavior. This bill would have specifically outlawed Christian colleges, churches, and religious non-profits from requiring their employees to live according to faith-based teachings regarding abortion or contraception use. There was a very narrow exemption for ministers. The author also intended to use the law to outlaw codes of conduct prohibiting sex outside of marriage.
