Losing the Right to Object to Objectionable Behavior

Recent events have confirmed the notion that, behavior that was once considered objectionable is now tolerated and accepted, while individuals who object out of conscience to such behavior are now the targets of condemnation. Recent examples are:

• Pharmacists have been legally forced to dispense the "morning-after-pill" against their conscience - Illinois Governor Mandates Pharmacists Dispense Abortion Causing Morning-After Pills or Face Consequence
• A country Innkeeper who professed he would host a homosexual civil-union but could not support it "whole-heartedly" has been charged with discrimination - Lesbians target innkeeper over same-sex 'wedding' - File complaint against Catholic family for reluctance to host civil union service
• An employee of Allstate Insurance, J. Matt Barber, is fired for voicing his opinion on gay marriage in a local newspaper - Allstate terminates manager over homosexuality column - On own time, man posted anti-'gay' article insurance giant says didn't reflect its values

Joel Belz expressed it as "Behavior that was just a generation ago viewed by nearly all of society as objectionable, or at best barely tolerable, has in those few years become so protected that its critics are now the ones who must be ostracized."

One choice fits all - Americans are losing the right not to support certain behaviors
