James Lankford: President Biden Fails to Uphold Religious Freedom<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) expressed his concerns about President Joe Biden&#8217;s stance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-calls-new-yorks-covid-19-restrictions-discriminatory-sides-with-religious-leaders\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Calls New York\u2019s COVID-19 Restrictions \u2018Discriminatory,\u2019 Sides With Religious Leaders\">religious liberty<\/a>. As an ordained minister, Lankford believes that the current administration is not adequately protecting the public&#8217;s right to religious freedom.<\/p>\n<h3>The Importance of Freedom on the Fourth of July<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This particular administration is not going to protect the religious liberty of conscience protections that are already in law,&#8221; Lankford stated.<\/p>\n<p>One of Lankford&#8217;s main concerns is how the Biden administration handles objections from Christians regarding abortion, especially in employment situations. He highlighted a case in the early days of the administration where a nurse in a Vermont hospital was forced to participate in an abortion against her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-hawley-says-biden-abortion-policies-are-an-insult\/\" title=\"Sen. Hawley says Biden abortion policies are an insult\">deeply held beliefs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They literally just trampled on her conscience rights,&#8221; Lankford expressed, disappointed that the Biden administration did not address her case.<\/p>\n<p>Respecting believers&#8217; objections to abortion is a fundamental aspect of Lankford&#8217;s definition of religious liberty, which he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senator-says-biden-wont-protect-voters-religious-liberty\/\" title=\"GOP senator claims Biden won't safeguard citizens' 'religious freedom'.\">holds dear due<\/a> to his religious background.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My passion for religious liberty really stems from my personal faith. I believe in the ability to live, practice, and speak about my faith freely,&#8221; Lankford explained. &#8220;Religious freedom is not just about the freedom to worship; it&#8217;s about the freedom to have a faith and live it. That&#8217;s something I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-russia-is-destined-for-defeat-in-ukraine\/\" title=\"Why Russia Is Destined for Defeat in Ukraine\">deeply cherish<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lankford emphasized the importance of protecting the rights of individuals from various religious backgrounds, including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, atheists, and others, to freely express their faith.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, as a staunch believer that life begins at conception, Lankford called for open discussions and increased normalization of the topic of abortion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If others have different ideas, let&#8217;s have a national conversation about it,&#8221; he suggested. &#8220;But let&#8217;s not dismiss it as a mere inconvenience. Children are always an inconvenience at every stage of life. This is about valuing the life of every individual.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sen. James Lankford&#8217;s commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-push-bill-aimed-at-balancing-lgbt-rights-and-religious-freedom\/\" title=\"House Republicans Push Bill Aimed at Balancing LGBT Rights and Religious Freedom\">protecting religious freedom<\/a> and advocating for the sanctity of life remains unwavering.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
