摘要

Indiana isn't the only state having trouble with religious freedom legislation. In March, Georgia's Senate approved a religious freedom bill. Like similar laws passed the same month in Arkansas and Indiana, it expanded protections for people claiming to be acting according to their religious beliefs. Some Democrats said the vote was rammed through committee during a bathroom break, but the bill had overwhelming support on the Senate floor, where it passed 37-15. It then ran aground in the Georgia House, where moderate Republicans sided with Democrats and added an anti-discrimination amendment that the legislation's sponsors refused to accept. "The term 'discrimination' is a very elastic thing that can mean a lot of different things to different people," says Republican State Senator Josh McKoon, who sponsored the bill. "It really was going to render the underlying bill meaningless."
