In reply to the discussion: Michigan doctor says female genital surgery was a 'religious practice' -- not mutilation [View all]mercuryblues
(14,583 posts)There are Christians who believe that women and LBGT should not be able to do a lot of things. They have even made laws to force this belief onto others. Some laws have failed, but give them time. I never would have believed that laws could be enacted allowing a Doctor to lie to a pregnant woman about her medical condition, but here we are in the 21st century. 11 states have a law on the books to allow a DR to lie to a pregnant woman about fetal anomalies and her health if they believe she might have an abortion. Retail stores can deny woman prescription coverage for Birth Control, based on religious beliefs.
More than once legislators have tried to push laws through that a woman has to have a man's permission for an abortion.
NC republicans are trying to make same sex marriage illegal, based on religious beliefs. They have already have a law stating what bathroom a person can use. Because of their religious beliefs.
While several states have or tried to have laws that make Sharia law illegal.
