Right-wing religious leaders (again): “but our beliefs make it OK for us to be bigots”

Meanwhile the numerous people whose religious beliefs make them feel obligated to oppose bigotry somehow once again don’t make the news.

The irony here is that AFAICT this bill doesn’t constrain religious orgs; it only constrains the state itself. Right-wing Catholics think their beliefs are under attack because the amendment would prevent them from using the state to impose their beliefs on others.

@inthehands That sign... Aren't abortions usually before birth?
