ACLU WANTS TO ABOLISH RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

WND EXCLUSIVE

ACLU GOES FOR JUGULAR TO KILL RELIGIOUS-RIGHTS LAW

Mississippi statute allows business operators to follow faith

A lawsuit has been filed by the ACLU demanding that a religious-rights law in Mississippi, which protects the First Amendment constitutional rights regarding faith issues, be struck so that homosexuals cannot be refused any service for any reason.

A victory would give the “gay” community the right to order a member of any faith that doesn’t support homosexuality to simply violate their faith in a business transaction, under the threat of a discrimination complaint and penalty.

The fight has developed over the last several years, and attacks on people of faith have reached new heights since the U.S. Supreme Court last year created same-sex “marriage” across the country.

At issue in Mississippi is a state law that allows business operators to follow their faith, as the First Amendment assures.

That means a Christian baker could decline to provide pro-homosexual products for a “gay” rally, or a Christian photographer could decline to promote a homosexual “wedding” with his or her artistic talent.

Such provisions are unacceptable to members of the homosexual community, and the ACLU claims the state law allows discrimination against those members of society.

ABC reported Jennifer Riley-Collins, of the ACLU of Mississippi, said, “When the governor signed HB 1523 into law we tried to do what we always do, and that’s stand in defense of freedom.”

At Talking Points Memo website, Lauren Fox reported Nykolas Alford and Stephen Thomas complained in the lawsuit, in the federal court for the Southern District of Mississippi, they would be subjected to a different set of rules than different-sex couples.

The law, HJB1523, was signed into law by Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican, last month. It’s called the Protecting Freedom of Conscience From Government Discrimination Act.”

It provides the state will not punish those who refuse to provide goods or services based on their own “sincerely held religious belief” against same-sex “marriage” or other issues.

Bryant earlier explained the law doesn’t limit “any constitutionally protected rights or actions of any citizen of this state under federal or state laws.”

A related fight also is brewing in North Carolina, where Washington is demanding the state repeal a law that protects women and children against being exposed to a nude male in their locker room, or worse in a public restroom.

It simply requires people to use the restroom or facility assigned to the gender on their birth certificate.

Texas targets Target

The issue also is creating a firestorm in Texas. Target fanned the flames of the fight April 19 by publicizing its policy allowing people to use restrooms and changing facilities that correspond to their gender identity.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has responded, pointing out to Target in a letter that it is “possible that allowing men in women’s restrooms could lead to criminal and otherwise unwanted activity.”

“As chief lawyer and law enforcement officer for the state of Texas, I ask that you provide the full text of Target’s safety policies regarding the protection of women and children from those who would use the cover of Target’s restroom policy for nefarious purposes,” he demanded.

Paxton said Target is free to open its bathrooms to whomever it wants but is unsure that Texans will welcome such policies.

“The voters in Houston recently repealed by a wide margin an ordinance that advanced many of the same goals as Target’s current policy,” he pointed out.

A spokesman for the American Family Association, which had a boycott Target petition moving beyond 1.2 million signatures, told Fox News that the company needs to provide answers.

AFA President Tim Wildmon said: “Nearly everyone has a mother, wife, daughter or friend who is put in jeopardy by this policy. Predators and voyeurs would take advantage of the policy to prey on those who are vulnerable.”

Bathrooms on the brain

The Obama administration’s move to open bathrooms and ignore biology even drew a satirical video from the the Family Research Council in which a narrator pointed out: “So … while ISIS is infiltrating America … President Obama seems confused about human biology. While Russia taunts our military … President Obama is fighting for men to access to women’s locker rooms. While Iran and North Korea fire ballistic missiles … President Obama is demanding grown men have the right to use women’s bathrooms.

“Who knows what’s next? President Obama could issue an executive order wiping out single gendered bathrooms in national parks … or in federal buildings … or tell the TSA to stop requiring those who fly to declare their biological sex. It’s absurd.”

The video:Child abuse

The American College of Pediatricians has warned of the danger of allowing children to “impersonate” the opposite sex.

“A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking,” the group said. “Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.”

WND columnist Jane Orient, M.C., asserted pushing boys into girls locker rooms is an idea based on “seriously flawed assumptions.”

“In fact, the science cannot be clearer. There are two sexes. Leaving aside rare conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, this is absolutely plain at birth, and not a matter of arbitrary ‘assignment.’ A person with a Y chromosome is through-and-through male in every cell in his body. If ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner’s skeleton is dug up a few hundred years from now, it will unequivocally be identified as male.

“Second, they both assume that it is possible to convert a male into a female and that doctors are helping a patient affirm his true identity by so doing,” she wrote.

“In fact, it is possible for a male to become a eunuch or female impersonator, but he will never be able to be somebody’s natural mother. And what do we do to a boy to try to make him appear female? Do we have any information about the long-term effects of female hormones starting in childhood? Maybe we will eventually, if we follow today’s experimental subjects – who are too young to consent and are likely not having the possible consequences spelled out. If castrated, they will lose forever the prospect of having natural offspring. And what will genital surgery do to urinary continence? How will hormones affect their risk of breast cancer? What about blood clots and strokes? And osteoporosis and fractures as they age? If adult athletes are forbidden to ‘dope’ with steroids, why is it acceptable for children?

“There are excellent reasons not to have boys and girls undressing in front of each other, and a transgender ‘girl’ is just a wedge. The real agenda is to further the sexual and cultural revolution: to undermine the family, to stigmatize the Christian faith and indeed all traditional morality, and to break down all resistance to a totalitarian state that dictates belief and behavior,” she warned.

My comments: Obama, the Democrats and the ACLU and all the godless, Socialist, Secular Humanists are using the "Transgender" Issue and the Same-Sex Marriage Issue to as Pretexts to DESTROY Faith in God and Chritianity. WHY? Because Chrsit Jesus tells them that what they do is Evil. (John 7:7)
