JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Liberty Counsel commends Missouri Senator Robert Onder for sponsoring Senate Joint Resolution 39 (SJR 39) and has offered pro bono legal representation if it is enacted.

SJR 39 protects the right of conscience and free exercise of religious belief so no person will be punished by the government for refraining from participating in or providing personal services for a same-sex “marriage” ceremony. This legislative measure prevents the state of Missouri or state agencies from discriminating through the imposition of taxes or fines, or by denying licenses, loans, insurance, medical benefits, or access to meeting spaces, channels of communication, or other resources to those who hold and act upon their sincere religious belief concerning any purported marriage between two persons of the same sex.
