The Mississippi law would allow clerks to cite religious objections to recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and would protect merchants who refuse services to lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people. It could affect adoptions and foster care, business practices and school bathroom policies. Opponents say it could also allow pharmacies to refuse to fill birth control prescriptions for unmarried women.

An Arizona-based Christian group, Alliance Defending Freedom, helped write the Mississippi law. Bryant said Oct. 2 that "this law was democratically enacted and is perfectly constitutional."

"Under the (appeals) court's reasoning, a state could enact a statute establishing Christianity — or any other religion — as the official religion of the state, and no plaintiff would have standing to challenge that statute," the opponents' attorneys wrote. They noted that "numerous" bills similar to Mississippi's have been introduced in other state legislatures.

I wonder if those conservative judges Trump is planning to appoint will support this.
