But people are losing their jobs if they refuse to participate in things that violate their moral conscience especially small business owners that the state has made law. By you stating that we should get rid of the law proves you realize this to be a fact.
Actually my point on changing the law refers to the business owner having the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Your point of a person losing their job because they refuse to do something against their conscience however...well, I have no problem with someone being fired for refusing to do the work that they voluntarily signed up for. If they were forced to work in that business that would be one thing. But they are there voluntarily. As such I have no problem with them being fired for refusing to do the work because of a moral decision that they no doubt had before even applying for the job. For instance any Muslim that works at a grocery store is inevitibally going to have to handle pork and beer. Yet knowing that they still willingly apply for the job. If they refuse then it is their fault for applying for a job that they knew involved handling those two products that went against their religion. There are a billion jobs out there. There is no valid reason to apply to one that you know is going to conflict with your beliefs. And to get all pissy about it after the fact is just BS.
