1. So how come they can have religious freedom laws

that allow health care providers and pharmacists to refuse health services or the provision of birth control to women if their "conscience" feels icky about it?

There are dozens of states where these "conscience clause" laws have passed in recent years, and nobody seems to give a damn about it. It's discriminatory, just like these other religious freedom bills. I honestly don't understand why even on a supposedly left-leaning site we can't even muster any outrage against such things. Are women just not the kool kidz? Someone help, please.
