I read the bill, and it makes me wonder how a non-person entity can have a religious belief, or if this falls under the same ruling that makes corporations persons.

Second, it doesn't give the child the power to refuse services of said agencies or organizations, based on opposition to said agencies' or organizations' "strongly held religious beliefs." Under this construction, it seems children could find themselves in a situation being placed by an agency they consider hostile to who they are, and being placed with someone they find equally hostile. In the worse-case scenario, that could expose children to all manner of psychological abuse under the guise of some religious practice. This could include children falling under the LGBTQ umbrella, non-religious umbrella, and probably non-Christian religion umbrella.

I guess my question is, even assuming this bill doesn't pass, and said agencies are still allowed to do this, are the children offered any protections?
