What's the matter with Iowa? Kimmi the Clown signs bill promoting religious bigotry as practiced by Crackpot Christians

 
Headline:  Des Moines Register, 4/2/2024
"Thirty years ago, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act passed almost unanimously at the federal level," Reynolds said in a statement. "Since then, religious rights have increasingly come under attack. Today, Iowa enacts a law to protect these unalienable rights — just as twenty-six other states have done — upholding the ideals that are the very foundation of our country."

Courtney Reyes, executive director of the LGBTQ rights group One Iowa Action, said in a statement that the law will allow broad religious exemptions to otherwise generally applicable laws.\ 
"There’s no denying it: this bill is aimed at discriminating against LGBTQ+ Iowans, single parents, people needing reproductive health care services and many more," she said in a statement.
