A VERY GOOD LEGAL QUESTION.



Should a Pro-Abortion Print Shop be Forced to Print “Abortion is Murder” Signs and Shirts?

This is a very good article and I strongly recommend that everyone read it.   You can read it here:    http://godfatherpolitics.com/14503/pro-abortion-printer-forced-print-abortion-murder-signs-shirts/#YFRA36dXZChuPObF.99


WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? 

 Here's mine:

The first amendment prohibits the government from making any law that interferes with the exercise of my religion.  It also protects my freedom of association.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided in Roberts v. United States Jaycees (1984) that "implicit in the right to engage in activities protected by the First Amendment" is "a corresponding right to associate with others in pursuit of a wide variety of political, social, economic, educational, religious, and cultural ends." In Roberts the Court held that associations may not exclude people for reasons unrelated to the group's expression, such as gender.

However, in Hurley v. Irish-American Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Group of Boston (1995), the Court ruled that a group may exclude people from membership if their presence would affect the group's ability to advocate a particular point of view. 

Likewise, in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale (2000), the Court ruled that a New Jersey law, which forced the Boy Scouts of America to admit an openly gay member, to be an unconstitutional abridgment of the Boy Scouts' right to free association.

It find it very interesting that the persecution of Christians during the time of Rome began primarily because Christians refused to partake in public ceremonies and sacrifices dedicated to the pagan deities which were considered critical to the social and political well-being of both the local community and the Roman empire as a whole.
