A pharmacist could decide not to fill a prescription for hormone therapy for a transgender customer, claiming doing so goes against his or her religious beliefs about gender.
Or, in another example TFN offers, a pharmacist could use religion as a justification to refuse to serve African-American customers because she believes the Bible mandates the segregation of the races.
And two bills that would regulate legal services, SB 302 and SB 303, now have amendments which allow for religious refusal by state-licensed attorneys.
If these bills become law with these amendments, an attorney could deny his or her duty to inform a client about his or her rights in a divorce proceeding, for example, even trying to talk the client out of getting a divorce, all based on the attorneys religious objection to divorce.

With all eyes on the constant distractions of Trump, the White Right moves in for the kill.
I'm wondering how thes new Laws that sound an awful lot like Sharia or Saudi, with 'christian' thrown in just for personalization, are going to play with the many who've just moved to Dallas from CA, with the relocation of Toyota Headquarters.
I have heard nothing in local news even speak a word about these bills.
Texas is about to become one giant Mega fu'ked up Church.
How sanctamonious & sick headed can people be to legislate themselves the purist of all.
