WASHINGTON – Not only did the Obamacare repeal pass the U.S. House Thursday, it was National Day of Prayer and the President signed a proclamation that some are criticizing and others are praising. 

Here's what the conservative Family Research Council has to say about it:

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins was at the White House for the signing ceremony of an executive order protecting religious liberty. The President's new order ensures the freedom of all Americans to believe and act in accordance with their beliefs. The executive order makes clear that the administration will pursue policies that "protect and vigorously promote religious liberty."  

“The President’s executive order is a clear reflection of his campaign promise to protect the religious freedoms of Americans.  President Trump is taking a significant first step to defending religious liberty.  In working with the Trump administration, it is clear that they both recognize and understand the dangers of the anti-faith policies of the previous administration and are therefore committed to undoing those policies and restoring true religious freedom.   The freedom to live out faith in all areas of society without government punishment or intimidation is what has made America great. 

“Finally, the federal government realizes the immoral and insane mandate that forces organizations like the Little Sisters of the Poor to include contraception and abortifacients in their healthcare plans.  No longer will the IRS muzzle the speech of pastors and non-profit organizations and the Department of Justice will address the host of other anti-religious policies and actions launched by the previous administration by issuing guidelines for all federal agencies.  The guidelines will ensure religious beliefs and actions are respected and protected.  

“This step today starts the process of reversing the devastating trend set by the last administration to punish charities, pastors, family owned businesses and honest, hard-working people simply for living according to their faith. This trend is in part why 60 percent of Trump voters in the last election said they were more likely to vote for him because the GOP platform is very clear on religious liberty and unborn life.

“The open season on Christians and other people of faith is coming to a close in America and we look forward to assisting the Trump administration in fully restoring America’s First Freedom,” concluded Perkins.
