Gay
rights trump religious freedom
Honda
of Alabama takes logical and reasonable position.
August
21, 2008
Dear
Butch,
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.
