North Dakota votes on a 'religious freedom' amendment tomorrow [View all]

[proud2BlibKansan]

Government may not burden a person's or religious organization's religious liberty. The right to act or refuse to act in a manner motivated by a sincerely held religious belief may not be burdened unless the government proves it has a compelling governmental interest in infringing the specific act or refusal to act and has used the least restrictive means to further that interest. A burden includes indirect burdens such as withholding benefits, assessing penalties, or an exclusion from programs or access to facilities.

Does this mean a man can marry a 12 year old girl because his religion says that's okay?

And of course, it authorizes bullying gays.

What about an unmarried pregnant woman? Could her boss now legally fire her for being pregnant and unwed?

What about women who use birth control pills?

This shit is getting ridiculous.
