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

And we’re not too happy with Ron Johnson, either. And Glenn Grothman is giving us the vapors these days, too!Indeed! (What did Glenn do to tick you off? I know why I'm mad at him, but I'd be interested in your gripe.)

A gentle friend of mine at church tonight looked at me sadly and said, “I think I’ve lived a week too long.”

It’s right next to the right to an abortion.

So these "new contexts" across America... they are something superior to the U.S. Constitution?
