I’m not an abortion supporter but I wonder how we’d react if an atheist came into a church and started passing out atheist literature.

A church is a little different from a medical office lobby. If she had gone back and disrupted procedures, that would be a better analogy... but she did not. Just so, an atheist handing out literature during a church service is a provocation far beyond what this woman did. Besides, most church-goers are like this woman and would be open to sharing their faith with the atheist. This conversation isn't a two way street.

In NC, we can't even pray on the side of the street with the abortion clinic. I sincerely doubt this prohibition applies to an atheist who wanted to pass out anti-Christian literature in front of a church.

Thanks to liberal communists the right to kill the unborn even by mutilation superseeds the protection provided by the First Amendment for religion.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...”

Sure seems the government has carved out another piece of our most basic rights as by your account they are “prohibiting the free exercise thereof”

The USSC once again blew it big time as you cannot create a new right to death by destroying another part of our Constitution.

They arrested civil rights leaders for praying on the street in the 60’s.
