Conservative SCOTUS Betrays Barronelle | The American Conservative

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The pretext for overriding the florist's rights to free speech and religious liberty was Washington's so-called "public accommodations law," which required the owner, Barronelle Stutzman, to provide goods and services to customers "regardless" of their sexual orientation.
44% : Stutzman, who has been represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, had argued that forcing her to provide flowers violated her religious beliefs and was tantamount to "compelled speech" because it would force her to endorse same-sex marriage.
34% : In a 2017 ruling, the state's high court ruled unanimously that Stutzman violated Washington's anti-discrimination law.
