The Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear an appeal of Mississippi’s “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act,” allowing a lower court ruling in favor of the law to stand, ensuring religious freedom in the the Magnolia State.
The state legislature passed the law to give religious-minded citizens the freedom to not violate their conscience. The legislation does not allow a business owner to refuse service discriminately, but provides protections if someone declines to participate in a ceremony or event that might go against their religious beliefs.
