The Amish and Muslims are exempted from the mandates. Is that a violation of separation of church and state. The state is picking two religions over the beliefs of the others. It looks like to me an establishment of a religion. Their conscious clause is intake but not for pro-life believers.
I would think that the 14 amendment would allow all Americans equal standing in claiming a religious exemption. Next week, I’m going to request that my congressman (Sensenbrenner-R) provide me with information specifically on obtaining an exemption and the most effective strategies to follow. Perhaps several conservatives sitting in congress can pool resources and make this information available to the public. At least a flood of requests would slow down the IRS or government agency charged in processing these requests.
Huh?? What happened to equal treatment under the law? I thought that was the foundational principle of this country.
That’s another winner with this farce of a bill. Equal protection and no official state religion. By exempting two religions, he’s ‘endorsing’ them.
