Freedom of religion?

Quote:Hawaii is considering legislation that would require all pregnancy centers to refer patients to clinics that provide abortions, — a move pro-life centers say will violate their religious beliefs and their free speech rights.

In a 22-3 vote, the state’s Democrat-controlled Senate approved SB 501, which would direct “all limited service pregnancy centers to disclose the availability of and enrollment information for reproductive health services.”
For the Rev. Derald Skinner, pastor at Calvary Chapel Pearl Harbor, that would mean putting a sign advertising abortion in his church.

“They want to mandate all pro-life centers to put an abortion referral sign in our reception areas,” Mr. Skinner said in a video published to the church’s Vimeo account. “Now our particular pro-life center is in our church. So it’s very important to realize that they are dictating to us what we can and cannot say. Will they give me my sermon next and tell me what I can preach?”

Another opportunity for the ACLU to prove that it is a real boy.

It's true, as is that government is too big and too involved.

Is any one shocked?
The ACA forced religious organizations to pay for abortion inducing drugs, something totally against their beliefs......
is it a stretch to think the government would force a religious organization to promote abortion in their facilities, something totally against their beliefs...
is it a stretch to think the government would force Churches to perform gay marriages, something totally against their beliefs......
there is no reach too far for the government's tentacles.

While I agree we have too much, the logic ends up.... If you have a kids with federal loans at your school you have no rights even as a private school...

that's part of why I believe that gov't has no business in the loan business whatsoever. you know it's coming. anytime you take federal money it comes back to haunt you somehow.

I'm wondering what affect this would actually have. I mean, it's not like people haven't heard of abortion, and people going to religious-based pregnancy support centers would presumably be looking for options other than aborting their pregnancy.

The bill seems like a total waste.

the OP literally has no shame. you have completely editorialized the title of what was already a partisan source.
