Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss a retired U.K. pastor facing criminal charges for preaching a gospel message inside an abortion buffer zone in Northern Ireland. The conversation examines free speech, religious expression, public order laws, and whether buffer zone restrictions can criminalize peaceful preaching.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Hampton v. United Airlines. The discussion focuses on lawsuits from former employees who claim they were fired after seeking religious accommodations to United’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Panelists examine Title VII protections, conscience rights, and employer obligations under federal law.
