Religious Freedom vs. Sexual Expression

In an article in the Journal of Law and Religion, Law Professor Helen Alvare of George Mason University, examines  the inevitable clash between new legal rights to sexual expression and our constitutional right to the free exercise of religion. According to Alvare:

“Claimed rights to sexual expression unlinked to the creation of children, are among the strongest challenges facing the free exercise of religion in the United States today… Laws and regulations protecting and promoting sexual expression detached from children are powerfully affecting religious institutions that operate health care, educational, and social services available to all Americans.”
