Bobby Jindal administration says jailed Kentucky clerk would be protected in Louisiana
Gov. Bobby Jindal believes a Kentucky clerk who is headed to jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples would be legally protected in Louisiana.
"We believe the U.S. Constitution, Louisiana Constitution, Louisiana's Preservation of Religious Freedom Act, as well as our Executive Order prevents government from compelling individuals to violate sincerely held religious beliefs," said Mike Reed, spokesman for the governor, when asked if the Kentucky clerk would face the same legal problems in Jindal's home state.
The governor's presidential campaign also expressed sympathy for Kim Davis, who makes $80,000 per year as an elected clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky.
"Every person should be able to follow their conscience, and clerks who cannot in good conscience participate in same-sex marriage should not be forced to violate their beliefs," Jindal campaign spokeswoman Shannon Dirmann told The Associated Press.
