Oh the progressive press did their job. Locally as well as nationally. Unless one questioned a state legislator with an R after their name you would never have gotten the truth
Pence did NOT cave to negative media. It was the poorly written material. After state legal staff looked at it and knew it wouldn’t hold up in federal court there was no choice Even the FIX just made it worse.
Case Law is impossible to undo.
A. Friend who was in the know said some thought it was intentionally set up to fail by one of the liberal authors.
Pence went on deck and kept it from becoming case law He’s to be lauded not ridiculed. But too many only know “what they read in the paper!”

OK. I just recall one of Pence’s talking points kept justifying the language of the bill by comparing it to the Illinois law without seeming to appreciate that Illinois already had statewide protections against sex discrimination. The Indiana law does not have such language on civil rights and clauses to insert it in the bill were rejected, among other differences. Which gave the impression he wasn’t clued in on some important details that gave other states cover under federal law.
