http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/02/trumps-religious-freedom-executive-order-worse-feared/The administration will use the order to gut civil rights laws, allowing people and organizations to cite religious objections to same-sex marriage, gender identity, premarital sex, and abortion. The order will cover any organization, including closely held for-profit corporations when providing social services, education, or healthcare; earning a living, seeking a job, or employing others; receiving government grants or contracts; or otherwise participating in the marketplace, the public square, or interfacing with Federal, State or local governments.
The order would also restrict womens right to contraception and abortion under the Affordable Care Act. Churches and charitable organizations would be allowed to be directly political without losing their tax exempt status if the group believes, speaks, or acts (or declines to act) in accordance with the belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, sexual relations are properly reserved for such a marriage, male and female and their equivalents refer to an individuals immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy, physiology, or genetics at or before birth, and that human life begins at conception and merits protection at all stages of life.
The order is expected to be revealed tomorrow morning at the National Prayer Breakfast. Hopefully, it wont be as truly horrifying and unconstitutional as this leaked draft version.
Here we f*cking go.....

And demand we start calling him Ayatollah Trump.
Maybe he should order that we stone divorcees or jail people who miss church on Sunday.
I need a "WTF" key on my keyboard.

Just one of the many reasons Gorsuch -- mister "religious freedom for Corporations" -- must be stopped.
