What surprises me is concerning religious freedom laws is that I haven’t heard state or federal lawmakers or Obama guard dog Fx News mention Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
14th Amendment, Section 1:All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Note that the “privileges or immunities” term which John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 used in that section, is just another way to refer to constitutionally enumerated rights, most of these well-known rights listed in the Bill of Rights.
So, what are you going to say to Christian businesspeople who can’t go against their faith in serving people who are blatant sinners—sinners who wish to FORCE BUSINESSES into serving them? Next, such business owners should what, be dragged off the street, along with their children, and raped?
I guess making them penniless or in prison is just fine with you.
Try it with Muslims. Go ask for a ceremony that serves ham and BLTs. Get back to us if you still have your head.
everyone knows that gay-owned businesses will be allowed to discriminate against Christians with no threat of reprisal by the laws, same with Muslims
How many corporations are threatening boycotts of Indiana today? So.... they cannot refuse to do business?
