Faith leaders are praising what they hope is a first step taken under the Trump administration to protect religious liberties in the United States that were put in a bull’s-eye by the previous Obama regime.|
President Trump Thursday signed an executive order instructing that churches would be given the widest freedom possible from the Johnson amendment of 1954 that restricts their speech, and also instructing that Christians no longer would be targeted by the government with campaigns that violate their faith.
James Dobson, the pioneering radio voice of Christian and family values for tens of millions through Focus on the Family and now Family Talk, was himself targeted under Obama’s mandates that even Christian organizations provide abortifacients to employees who request them.
His response then?
“Come and get me if you must,” he said, affirming that he would not comply with the Obama mandate.
