Once again they are protecting abusers (and their own bank accounts) at the expense of victims.<br /><br /><i>"Let's pray for our religious freedom … and let's exercise that freedom by contacting our legislators about SB 131"</i><br /><br />So religious freedom now includes the freedom to molest without consequences?
