The fact of the matter is that this law is a blatant act of discrimination against a very specific religious population. Whether or not you're for or against religion, you have to concede that people deserve the right to think as they please, and if it's not hurting anyone, using government coercion to regulate religious rituals is abhorrent.
More than that... it is a fundamental right of life... not human life alone.
Though I really don't think the indoctrinated have had much choice in this matter...
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
