From the Feminist Majority Foundation today:

We have just 13 days to defeat North Dakota Measure 3, which will be on the state’s primary ballot June 12th. It is a state constitutional amendment that simply goes too far and could deny a woman basic medical care such as birth control. We need your help.

This dangerous amendment states that “The right to act or refuse to act in a manner motivated by a sincerely held religious belief may not be burdened unless the government proves it has no compelling governmental interest…” We need your help because if this state constitutional amendment passes, it will certainly move to other states and it could have far reaching and alarming consequences:

• A man could claim domestic violence or child abuse laws don’t apply to him because his religious beliefs give him the right to beat his wife and children.
• An employer could deny birth control coverage or other needed medical treatment to a woman under its health plan on basis of the employer’s religious belief.
• A pharmacy could refuse to fill a birth control prescription on the basis of its religious belief.

Help the campaign to defeat Measure 3 and put an end to this so-called “religious freedom” amendment that could endanger women’s health. If passed, Measure 3 will spread - we cannot allow this to happen. Say NO to 3!

This is disgusting. We already operate under the presumption that IF YOU ARE NOT IMPACTING SOMEONE ELSE with your religion, you can do as you please. Basic contract of a liberal society. But, oh no, we have to upend that, because you believe your religion has the right to impact others. Why don’t we make an agreement: Every sponsor of this bill has to go live in Saudi Arabia or Iran for a month, and get a little taste of what’s life like living in a society where religious convictions are empowered by the arm of the state. Then, maybe, they’ll appreciate the freedom OF and FROM religion this country holds sacrosanct.
