Seriously though. Can anyone give me a compelling reason why individuals in the political sphere are allowed to enact and enforce laws based on religious dogma and force others to follow those laws, even if they aren't religious, yet the state can not do the same to religious institutions? Popular topic being abortions with Texas being an easy target. They effectively banned abortion by not allowing abortion doctors/clinics in the state unless they got a special note from a local hospital. And none of the local hospitals would give this special note to any abortion doctor. Thus they've nearly banned abortions and completely circumventing SCOTUS and Roe vs Wade and spitting in it's face. And let's put it on the flip side: People would be -blam!-ing pissed if a Muslim politician forced a bill through that required everyone to fast on Ramadan.
