[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1577833, member: 44954"] A letter was sent by 30 lawyers, many from Indiana, to the bill's sponsors and the governor back in February. It laid out their reasons for opposing the bill. It's a good read.

Yet, rather than advancing reasonable concerns about religious freedom, the proposed Religious Freedom Restoration Act is more a solution in search of a problem, or worse, if passed will create confusion, conflict, and a wave of litigation that will threaten the clarity of religious liberty rights in Indiana while undermining the state’s ability to enforce other compelling interests."[/I] [I][URL]http://web.law.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/microsites/gender-sexuality/law_professors_letter_on_indiana_rfra.pdf[/URL] [/I] [/QUOTE]
