They are matters of conscience, yes, but are legislative acts in conflict in the area of "rights of conscience" when it comes to them? IOW, is the state forcing murder, theft & adultery via legislation & if it did, would one's right of conscience exclude one from participating?
The article states rights of conscience cannot be made subject to legislation. Murder, theft, and adultery are all matters of conscience that have been made into law. The left knows this and has been softening us up to "gay rights" and "tolerance" for years in order to pull on our heart strings and make these causes "matters of conscience". The deamonize anyone who does not share their agenda as being bigots and such so as to come back around to legislate immorality.
