[LifeSite News] 6 Aug 2008--The victory of a Christian marriage registrar who had asked to be allowed to recuse herself from performing homosexual civil partnership ceremonies, has infuriated secularist and homosexual activists in the media and in Parliament. A Labour MP has tabled a motion in Parliament that would eliminate the freedom of religious conscience of public servants who oppose the homosexualist political agenda.
The motion, tabled by Diane Abbott, Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, urges ministers to amend the law to ensure that public servants with "arbitrary" religious beliefs will be forced to either violate their conscience or quit their jobs.
The motion proposes, "That this house believes that no public servant should be allowed to discriminate on this arbitrary basis and, should this case not be reversed on appeal, calls on the Government to clarify and amend the law to guard the public against discrimination and prejudice by public servants in the future."
In July, Lillian Ladele won a complaint against the Islington Council in which she complained that her work environment had been made intolerable over her religiously based conscientious objection to homosexual civil unions.
