Topic
Does religious liberty and the freedom of conscience allow individuals to refuse professional services to citizens whose lifestyles they disagree with as a matter of conscience?
This topic invites you to express an understanding of the rights of conscience and liberty in light of recent public controversies and court cases in which individuals have argued for a right of liberty that includes refusing to provide business services (such as catering or flowers) for gay weddings, conducting government business (such as issuing marriage licenses for gay couples).
Consider:
- news posts on recent cases
- related arguments in which doctors claim a right of conscience to refuse to perform some medical procedures.
- historical examples of businessses which have asserted a right to refuse service.
