Alabama Center for Law and Liberty opposes Montgomery ordinance

The conservative Alabama Center for Law and Liberty on Monday sent a letter on behalf of itself and six allied organizations urging that the Montgomery City Council to reject a proposed ordinance that they say would require Christians to violate their religious beliefs or face fines under certain circumstances.

ACLL and its allied organizations are concerned that similar cases would arise in Montgomery.
