Religous Freedom Case Heard in California

On May 27th, the California Supreme Court heard a case which could have a drastic effect on religious freedom in that state.

From the San Diego Union Tribune:

The issue is whether fertility physicians at North Coast Women's Care in Vista discriminated against a lesbian couple from Oceanside when they cited religious beliefs in refusing to perform artificial insemination....

...That group says this is a "potentially landmark, historic case" that will decide the scope of religious freedom in the state constitution.

The ACRU filed an amicus brief on this case, arguing that a doctor has the right to refuse to perform a procedure on someone whose lifestyle goes against their religious beliefs.

John Armor was quoted on March 20th on the latest ACLU Outrage: ACLU Wants the US to Lose the War on Terrorism on American Family Association's OneNewsNow.com.

Says John:

"They do want to aid these guys," he exclaims. "If you look at it politically, not legally, the ACLU wants the United States to lose in the war on terror because it feels that governments which are socialistic are preferred to what we have -- and those are the kind of people we're up against," he adds. "Of course, the fact that they're murderous dictators seems to escape the interest of the ACLU, so they're rooting for the other side to win and trying to help them."

Hans Zeiger in the Waco Tribune-Herald

Says Zeiger,

What Perry calls the "vices of license" are incompatible with "the virtues of liberty." Though the "culture war" is much larger than the Scouting controversies, the attacks on Scouting serve Perry as a potent symbol of what's at stake.
