Senator Scott Brown Votes to Protect Religious Freedom

Statement

U.S. Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) issued the following statement after voting for the Blunt Amendment to protect religious freedom and allow a conscience exemption in health care for people of faith:

"This is an issue of religious freedom. It is a very dangerous thing when government can compel people to violate their religious beliefs. This is another example of why I campaigned and voted against Obamacare in the first place. I believe it's possible to provide women with the access to the health care they want, while at the same time protecting the rights of Americans to follow their religious beliefs, just as we did in Massachusetts before Obamacare became law."
