Why cant I sacrifice chickens? Please cite which federal law forbids sacrificing chickens.The effect of this bill is to prevent the free exercise of religion, thus forbidden by the First Amendment of the Constitution.
Nonsense.
You can't sacrifice chickens, no matter how religious it might be to you. Your argument fails first blush. You're usually better than that... I think.
While there are religious practices that are clearly banned (e.g. human sacrifice) that does not negate the effect of the 1A. There are no unrestricted rights. But there are rights. And SanFran's assault on my son's penis violates those rights.
OK fine, it's clearly an assault on a long recognized right. I don't intend to suggest otherwise. But if one is to reconsider whether it ought to be recognized, an argument can be made that the rights of a non-consenting infant trump the religous freedom of the parents. To be clear, I wholeheartedly disagree with that position, but it's not fatally illogical or unreasonable either.
