Freedom of speech and freedom of religion have been taking a beating of late, and in effect, both our state and federal Constitutions have been bloodied. Who’s doing the dirty work? The State Supreme Court and the homosexual agenda.

Two doctors at the North Coast Women’s Care Medical Group in San Diego County say they declined for religious reasons to artificially inseminate a lesbian, and pointed to their rights to free speech and free exercise of religion to protect them from being compelled by government to do so. One would think the issue would end there. Not so!

The California Supreme Court has ruled that a doctor may not refuse to artificially inseminate a lesbian because it violates the doctor’s religious principles even if the two doctors referred the “patient” to other doctors who would do the job. The Justices said the two doctors are compelled by California law to artificially inseminate lesbians if requested.

This ruling means that doctors can exercise their religious freedom only as long as there is no conflict with homosexual or bisexual “rights.” The state supreme court has ruled the homosexual agenda and the Unruh civil rights act TRUMPS religious freedom.

What happened to the second part of both the state and federal Constitution’s “Congress shall make no law establishing a religion…NOR PREVENTING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF?

Article 1, Section 4 of this state’s Constitution clearly states “Free exercise and enjoyment of religion, without discrimination or preference are guaranteed. This liberty of conscience does not excuse acts that are licentious or inconsistent with the peace or safety of the State.”

Folks, the “peace and safety of the state” were not at risk, and yet, the state Supreme Court has ruled the Unruh Civil Rights Act more important, and valid, than the State Constitution.
