[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, President Clinton signed it into law in 1993. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).[/quote] Not the same. The Indiana statute has two features the federal RFRA—and most state RFRAs—do not: First, the Indiana law explicitly allows any for-profit business to assert a right to “the free exercise of religion.” The federal RFRA doesn’t contain such language, and neither does any of the state RFRAs except South Carolina’s; in fact, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, explicitly exclude for-profit businesses from the protection of their RFRAs. Second, the Indiana statute explicitly makes a business’s “free exercise” right a defense against a private lawsuit by another person, rather than simply against actions brought by government. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/03/what-makes-indianas-religious-freedom-law-different/388997/[/quote]
