Once again, a pro-life organization can hire or fire anyone it wants to. If that person opposes the mission of the pro-life organization, the pro-life organization does not have to hire that person and may fire that person. Another matter that has to be corrected is that the D.C. discrimination law provides that nothing in the act--the act under discussion here--prohibits religious and political organizations from limiting employment or admission to or giving preference to persons of the same religion or political persuasion as calculated by that organization to promote the religious or political principles for which it is established or maintained. That is the text. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Duckworth), my friend.
