Abstract
Fierce debates and extensive media coverage have centered on potential for discrimination arising from Indiana's recent passage of its Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Although Congress and twenty other states have previously passed similar legislation (and other states are currently considering reforms), Indiana's version may take respect for religious beliefs to new heights. Critics suggest, for example, that Indiana's law could allow religiously-minded private sector businesses and others to refuse wedding or other services to same sex couples.
