Religious Liberty Destroyed in the Military for Chaplins: Bill to let chaplains hold biblical view of ‘gays’

Congressman says everyone’s constitutional rights should be protected

A congressman who has introduced legislation to restore religious freedom to military chaplains says Barack Obama’s decision to permit open homosexuality in the armed forces has created an unconstitutional divide that protects the rights of supporters of homosexuality but disciplines adherents to biblical standards of behavior.
“When President Obama put his hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the constitutionally protected rights of all Americans, no exception was made against those in the military,” U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., said in a statement on his website.

“Whether it is expressing the tenets of one’s faith on the issue of marriage or abortion or contraception, it is a violation of the most fundamental of rights – the free exercise of religion – to coerce a chaplain to act in contravention of the tenets of his faith.”
His statement addressed the Obama administration’s attempt to stifle a statement by Roman Catholic chaplains that the president’s requirement that Catholic groups pay for abortion-causing drugs would not be followed.
His H.R. 3828, the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act, is pending in a House committee and already has dozens of cosponsors.

An analysis of Huelskamp’s bill by the Center for Military Readiness explains that while the First Amendment to the Constitution “guarantees rights of conscience and religious freedom to both chaplains and military personnel” a need has developed to “deter infringements on religious liberty.”
