There is being...One monkey don't stop the show. There is being introduced in the House and Senate a new version of the "religious freedom" bill so it really won't matter if Trump signs it or not. The executive order creates wholesale exemptions for people or organizations who claim moral or religious objections to same-sex marriage, trans-identity, premarital sex, abortion. The best article that I read along with the draft order was found in the Nation magazine. Lot's of questions remain and lot's of education is needed. Once the ball gets rolling and the republican controlled house and senate does their bill there will be no stopping this madness. The court forget it. It is indeed all over but the fighting and we can't really expect the higher ups who are Impotent to help much.<br /><br />It will be only by a united front with all other targeted groups, please Ct. Equality get on the band wagon that we will be able to resist this madness. The people do indeed have the power.<br /><br /> Diana have you seen the new facebook page for Ct. Resistance to Trump Administration "religious Freedom" executive order? You should have gotten the e-mail. Good place for folks to start as good things are coming out of this group already. Would you mind directing your readers to the page.<br /><br />All in all let's hold each other tight, watch each others backs for that road is going to get rough and rougher still.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander and bigots may suddenly find themselves shut out of services based on the good-faith beliefs of good-hearted people.<br /><br />All Trump's stuff has little effect on tort law. Standards of care are changing and an individual may take a legal action that is nevertheless negligent. Rising insurance costs, resulting from adverse tort claims, have done as much to improve bad things as state and federal legislation.<br /><br />Not the way I'd like to see it shake out but there is always opportunity in chaos.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834381508532618833noreply@blogger.com
