Related: About this forum‘Christians are the new blacks’ because of LGBT ‘Jim Crow laws’
American Family Association (AFA) Director of Issues Analysis Bryan Fischer says that a New Mexico Supreme Court unanimous decision finding that a wedding photographer violated the states Human Rights Act by discriminating against a same sex couple proves that Christians are the new blacks.
On his Thursday radio show, Fischer wondered when Christians are going to start filing suit against the people who are filing suit against them.
You are violating this non-discrimination law because you are discriminating against me on the basis of my religion, he explained.
Fischer went on to link that ruling to a July federal court decision not to hear a challenge to the Obamacare contraception mandate. That challenge was brought by Mennonite Christian cabinet makers in Pennsylvania, who will now have to provide their workers health insurance that covers birth control.

spare me about Christians and Contraception. I am an ONLY CHILD born in 1948, and it wasn't because my Catholic parents were infertile.

contraception in huge numbers.
