Iowa Governor signs ‘religious freedom’ bill into law. What will it do?

Connie Ryan, executive director of the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa, said religious freedom is already protected under the Iowa and U.S. constitutions.

“Religious exemptions tip the balance heavily in favor of someone's personal religious beliefs allowing them to discriminate against another person,” Ryan said in a statement. “The religious exemptions law weaponizes religious freedom, misusing it to take away the civil rights of another person.”
