What she’s saying is that the First Amendment means that you can believe in your heart and mind what you want, but you can’t act on it without federal permission, as far as religion goes. As to her point about a religious objection to providing medical care, Christianity doesn’t allow for letting gays die by refusing them medical care, so that’s a red herring. Big difference between refusing to participate in a wedding and depraved heart manslaughter by refusing to save a life.
“Certainly the first amendment says that in institutions of faith that there is absolute power to, you know, to observe deeply held religious beliefs. I don’t think it extends far beyond that. We’ve seen the set of arguments play out in issues such as access to contraception. Should it be the individual pharmacist whose religious beliefs guides whether a prescription is filled, or in this context, they’re talking about expanding this far beyond our churches and synagogues to businesses and individuals across this country. I think there are clear limits that have been set in other contexts and we ought to abide by those in this new context across America.” – Sen. Baldwin
Is it okay if I’m just the flower girl?
I really wouldn’t want to be more involved than that!
In GA a pharmacist does not have to dispense the morning after pill if it is against his religious beliefs.
There goes her argument on that issue.
Amen!
What do they say about Muslims and Jews?
These butt bangers just don’t get it.
Regardless of what the SC says or the legal definition says according to them; marriage is still between a man and woman and nothing can ever change that. Nothing.
So go ahead and have your little victory party and think you got over on the those evil Christians because they don’t believe in your homosexual deviancy. This will only come back harder on the butt bangers, no pun intended, than ever when the pendulum swings the other way.
Maybe it’s in a cold civil war right now and only one side knows it’s going on.
The breaking point will soon be here and it already is for many.
IGNORANCE is No Excuse for making a fool of oneself..whether one identifies as a Homosexical or NOT!!
Liberals throughout history: Whatever is not prohibited is mandatory.
Elections have consequences. When you elect people you give them power over you. When you elect bad people you give them power to tyrannize you. We have voted in our own little Caligulas.
Nope. Not gonna do it.
For fifty years we have been ruled by this one magical, mystical word. What is it...DISCRIMINATION. If something is called DISCRIMINATION, it must be evil and un-American. Now anti-discrimination is held even higher that religion itself.
Just WHAT IS IN THAT KOOLAID?
Romans—isn’t that hate speech?
Because the State has sanctioned the homosexual religion?
You can’t fix this kind of stupid
Interesting.. does she think muslims MUST participate too?
Psychotropics and hallucinogens.
Sure you can.
Take it to the vet, they shave its belly, make a small incision, do a small animal version of tubal ligation, sew it back up, and then it is cone of shame time.
Nothing can be done about the mental defects though.
LOL
