A short while ago Gov. Mike Pence held a press conference to say that he asking for legislation by the end of the week to clarify the RFRA law he signed last week. Key in his statement:
Gov. Mike Pence: Change RFRA law to make it clear discrimination won't be allowed
Ok then. If that is the "fix" he signs, we're good to go and all arguments to the contrary, that the law was intended to permit the denial of service to anyone under the color of religious freedom, were in error.
He said RFRA was about "religious liberty, not discrimination."
Pence also said the law does not give anyone the right to deny services to someone.
"I don't believe for a minute that it was the intention of the General Assembly to discriminate and it certainly wasn't my intent," Pence said.
"This law does not give anyone the right to discriminate...This law does not give anyone the right to deny services," he said.
