Blunt Amendment Defeated
| Elisabeth MacNamaraThe League is pleased that the Blunt Amendment was defeated earlier today by a vote of 51-48. This amendment was about discrimination based on sex and nothing else.

We remain concerned that ill-defined "religious and moral" objections will continue to be proposed as a means of discriminating against women.
