120. But there it is

struck down because we have a 14th amendment. Scalia was right - it will lead to a more open interpretation of marriage (to his chagrin and to my delight). So much of religious doctrine is based on gender - we have a document that says we are all entitled to the same rights - that's a very big hurdle. Look at the things we have court cases on - school prayer, charter schools, etc. That's a very, very far cry from fathers being allowed to kill their daughters for not marrying the right person or living a certain kind of life, a very very far cry from banning holy books that are different from the "state" religion. I'm not saying not to fight against having religion in public places or paid for by our taxes - those are worthy arguments to have. All I'm saying is that pretending our first world issues with religion are on par with honor killings is not only ridiculous as a comparison, it minimizes what is happening to our sisters in countries with sharia law.
