The newer cases, by contrast, use religious-liberty claims to advance policy outcomes their proponents already supported on secular grounds. Anderson said the left’s religious liberty claims are hardly comparable to those of the baker or nun, and instead “make a mockery of religious liberty.” He compared the effort to self-described Satanists who claim a religious liberty right to obtain abortions, adding that “the attempts to use religious liberty protections to attack basic human rights protections for the unborn should be as successful as religious liberty claims to kill any other class of human beings.” Anderson said many of the progressive religious liberty claims are opportunistic, noting that “they will ultimately fail either because the purported religious belief is not sincere or because the government has a truly compelling interest being pursued in the least restrictive way.” The bill would have barred individuals and organizations from invoking RFRA to seek exemptions from federal laws governing civil rights, employment, healthcare and other areas where advocates argued religious claims could enable discrimination.
