Same-sex "marriages" to be voted on as amendment to nursing home bill

The Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act is far more devious and deceptive than I ever imagined.

Today the Illinois Senate Executive Committee will hear the testimony (live feed here) of His Excellency the Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki concerning the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act, but this piece of legislation seems not to be an Act in its own right.

Today the Senate is expected to hear and vote on House Bill 5655, the Nursing Home Care Act, which was reassigned to the Executive Committee.

On January 2, 2013, Senator Heather A. Stearns (D-Chicago) proposed an amendment to the Nursing Home Care Act, which, according to the language of the amendment, "may be cited as the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act."

So...the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act will be voted on as an amendment to the Nursing Home Care Act.  The way in which Stearns and company is going about this is nothing short of nefarious and deceitful.

It clearly shows that they are not really convinced of the moral rightness of their claims or else they would be proceeding in the full light of day.

I'm really quite dumbfounded at all of this.
