Pence defends religious freedom law: 'Absolutely not' a mistake | MSNBC



Indiana's Governor Mike Pence repeatedly dodged questions about whether his recently signed Religious Freedom Law would discriminate against gays and lesbians on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopolus. He was asked several times a yes or no question, and each time wiggled out of answering by giving the history of the law or other total BS.

Pence was forced to try to defend this abhorrent law after many businesses, corporations, sports teams and other states decried the law as being discriminatory; including the NCAA, the NBA, the NFL, Apple, Angie's List, the Chamber of Commerce, and many others.

The new law is projected to cost Indiana tens of millions of dollars as corporations, large and small, are threatening to pull out of the state, canceling conventions, and not doing business there.

This law allows anyone, based on their religious beliefs, to refuse service to anyone. Even former Gov Jan Brewer, R-AZ, had the good sense to veto a similar bill a few years ago or risk losing the super bowl. And now Arkansas is poised to pass a similar bill (not that AR will ever host the super bowl).

The best way to fight these discriminatory practices are what's being done now...hit them in the pocketbook.
