Just noted this article and am posting it here for your consideration.

Indiana has come under fire for a bill signed Thursday by Gov. Mike Pence (R) that would allow businesses to refuse service for religious reasons. The NCAA has voiced its concern ahead of Final Four in Indianapolis next week, there are calls to boycott the state, and Miley Cyrus has even weighed in, calling Pence a name that we can't reprint on this family Web site in an Instagram post.

But Indiana is actually soon to be just one of 20 states with a version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Here are those states, in dark teal:

========================

Perhaps there needs to be a broader backlash that includes many other states.

3. Many of these RFRA laws

are different and not like this one. Kansas does NOT have this law, it made it through the house last year and was never even brought to a vote in the senate. Nope, our law does not do what this one does. Sorry, bad article.

All explained in the other thread.
