Arkansas Governor Refuses To Sign Religious Freedom Restoration Act

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has refused to sign the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The governor said that he wants the bill to mirror the federal Religious Freedom Restoration act so that the state is known “as a state that does not discriminate but understands tolerance.”

“The issue has become divisive because our nation remains split on how to balance the diversity of our culture with the traditions and firmly held religious convictions,” Hutchinson said. “It has divided families, and there is clearly a generational gap on this issue.”

Governor Hutchinson is the latest to back away from a bill to protect religious freedom after anti-faith activists in Indiana launched an attack on the state’s governor for signing a religious freedom law in his state.  North Carolina’s governor is also backing away from a bill to protect religious freedom saying the law “makes no sense.”

Fourteen states are considering similar legislation this year.

  1. Indiana will be spared. I cannot say that for Arkansas..remember the Madras Fault? Look at the states along that fault line and look at their politics? That may tell you where the great, ancient fault truly lies, and that is where the next ocean could come from…wake up governors! Praises for Indiana.
