Kim Davis Fights for Rights of Conscience

Jan 19, 2016

Late yesterday Liberty Counsel filed a reply brief to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of Kim Davis, the county clerk who was jailed for following her conscience. 

Our Founding Fathers believed in the right to follow one’s conscience so much that they protected religious liberty in the First Amendment. The first Americans traveled to this faraway land for the right to exercise their religion according to their own hearts, not government mandate. From the Mayflower Compact to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell, no court precedent or legislative mandate says that same-sex marriage must be held at every wedding venue, photographed by a specific photographer, celebrated by all bakers, or, in this case, licensed by a particular clerk. Then and still today, Americans enjoy the free exercise of religion and the freedom to follow Biblical principles in their personal and professional lives. 

Liberty Counsel will continue to fight to protect the free exercise of religion. We will never give up.
