The Secular Coalition for America is pitting against each other 16 state bills that promote religion through the government. Voters will get to choose the “Worst State Bill.”

Among the more shocking bills on the list:

Mississippi, HB 786: This bill would allow church members to commit a felony, including murder, if doing so on behalf of the church’s “security program.” The bill says this could be considered a “justifiable homicide.”

Rhode Island, SB 2216: This bill would ban a common abortion procedure and includes intentionally gruesome and misleading language, including references to “extracting” an “unborn child one piece at a time.”
