What the problem with allowing people freedom to chose if they agree with something or not? As long as it's not unlawful, why should the government have the right to "force" a private citizen to do something they disagree with? The executive order doesn't say those who want to engage those acts, can't do it, it just says the government can't force citizens to agree with the acts. This is America dude. Good for Trump.
The draft order seeks to create wholesale exemptions for people and organizations who claim religious or moral objections to same-sex marriage, premarital sex, abortion, and trans identity.

Some of the cases are known.

Why should a couple who own a bakery and have certain religious principles have to violate them to bake products for a gay wedding?

Of course, an executive order will only take you so far in such a situation, but with the IRS and the penalty (ahem, "tax") if you don't have Obamacare, the executive order resolved doubt in favor of the individual not the state.

Giving the individual some freedom, what an odd concept in this era where the government is omnipotent and omniscient...

So the conservatards at Hobby Lobby claim their 1st amendment right was violated because the insurance company they hired to provide health insurance to their employees was required to provided birth control as per ACA???

And somehow this interferes with their right to practice religion???

:roll: :shock:

I worked at a pharma company where Christians and Muslims were directly responsible for manufacturing birth control pills, and nobody ever complained.

From what I remember Hobby Lobby invested in a pharma company that manufactured birth control pills...

Total hypocrites!

Everybody now knows what Obamacare was all about.

It was a redistribution of wealth, and it was to require all taxpayers to fund abortion, etc.

The lies told about Obamacare -- keep your doctor, keep your plan, be deficit-neutral, lower average family costs -- were epic.
