No matter how many times you try, some things cannot be "fixed"
Our friends at Cornerstone Policy Research write:
Late yesterday, Governor Lynch announced that he will SIGN the same-sex marriage bill if the House and Senate agree to make some changes, despite having told the New Hampshire public time and time again, that he opposes gay marriage.
Governor Lynch has proposed a "cover" religious exemption amendment - much like the same smokescreen amendment the Senate added. This new language adds protections for religious organizations that are ALREADY covered under the First Amendment - but still does NOTHING to protect independent business owners and persons of faith, who are Justices of the Peace, who will now be forced to provide their services for gay 'marriage' ceremonies or risk being fined up to $50,000 by the Human Rights Commission!
Now, the legislature is going to add yet another amendment to another bill (the third one) in an attempt to "fix" what was a very poorly written bill to begin with.
Bottom line: Governor Lynch has broken his trust with the New Hampshire public by stating he will sign this bill, and has given in to the radical special interests.
What are the religious liberty problems with New Hampshire's bill? if you haven't done so yet. read the letter HERE from a University Law Professor who supports gay 'marriage', but says the New Hampshire law has serious flaws.
Stay tuned...
