Our California Judges are at it again
Quote:
Gay rights trump religious freedom
Honda of Alabama takes logical and reasonable position.
Take Action!
• Send an e-mail letter to Honda of Alabama thanking them for taking a logical and reasonable position.

• Make a phone call thanking Honda. The number is 205 - 355-8000.

• Forward this to friends and family.
August 21, 2008
The California Supreme Court, which recently legalized same-sex marriage, has ruled by a 7-0 vote that homosexual rights trump religious freedom. The ruling barred doctors, because of their Christian beliefs, from withholding unnecessary medical care to gays and lesbians. The ruling says that under state law sexual orientation rights trump religious freedom.

Justice Joyce Kennard wrote in the ruling that two Christian fertility doctors who refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian have neither a free speech right nor a religious exemption from the state's law, which "imposes on business establishments certain antidiscrimination obligations."

Doctors at the Christian clinic referred the lesbian to another clinic, but the lesbian refused their referral - demanding that the Christian clinic perform the procedure. When the Christian doctors refused to violate their religious convictions, the lesbian sued and the Supreme Court gave her the victory.

This ruling will affect every business in California. If a similar victory in a federal court is won, every business in America will be affected.

For example: Alabama Fertility Specialists (AFS) has begun a campaign to bring Honda of Alabama to its knees because Honda will not cover artificial insemination for a lesbian in it’s insurance.

Honda advised their insurance carrier to "exclude domestic partners (same-sex partners) from ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) benefits including diagnostic services related to fertility/infertility..." If this doesn't work, then count on AFS to sue.

Alabama Fertility Specialists alerted the media, their supporters and gay groups about Honda’s actions and called on supporters and gays to bombard Honda with phone calls and letters.


California seems to be a different COUNTRY not just a different state. Glad I do not live there. Spent some time there while in the Navy and that was all I needed to remember what I had in Texas.

I received this from the American Family Assoc. Of course they want a small donation so I took the liberty of removing all those references and their advertisements.

I knew there was something I liked about you
I served from 84-96.

But on topic, I left nothing in Cal that I need to go back and get. What mess that place is.

Doesn't appear to have improved any. I served in the early 60's and it was a BIG mess then also.

This article came from the American Family Association (AFA). They are a watch group for family values. I get these frequently as an e-mail because I asked a question at one time about a subject. Just never have cancelled because they do have some interesting articles.
