[edit] Mikey Weinstein

Michael L. "Mikey" Weinstein is an attorney, businessman and former Air Force officer. He is founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and author of With God on Our Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup in America's Military (ISBN 978-0312361433) in which he describes his fight against the coercive evangelistic practices by some members of the military.

Weinstein graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1977 and later served as a Judge Advocate General (JAG) for ten years. He also served as an attorney in the Reagan White House.

In October 2005, Weinstein sued the United States Air Force for permitting illegal proselytization by evangelical Christian officers. U.S. District Judge James A. Parker, who presided over Weinstein v. U.S. Air Force, dismissed the case, stating, "Not a single Plaintiff has alleged any personal factual situation that has allegedly impinged on that Plaintiff’s constitutional rights since the Plaintiff left the Academy." [1]

in March 2006, Weinstein founded the Military Religious Freedom Foundation as a watchdog organization to protect religious freedom in the Military in accordance with Department of Defense Directive 1300.17, Accommodation of Religious Practices Within the Military Services. [2] [3]

[edit] Accommodation of Religious Practices Within the Military Services

All branches of the United States military are afforded the same rights to religious freedom as are American civilians. However, members of the Armed Forces willingly surrender on a temporary basis certain free exercise rights when it impinges on military discipline and the successful completion of a military objective. This guarantee of religious freedom is codified for the Armed Forces in Title 10, United States Code (USC), sections 3073, 3547, 5142, and 8067. Free exercise of religious freedom for military personnel is further detailed in Department of Defense Directive (DODD) 1300.17, “Accommodation of Religious Practices Within the Military Services,” which describes the commander’s responsibility to provide for religious accommodation.[4] [5]

Unborn in the USA quote - 00:50:36

I had the building under surveillance for uh, months, several months before that, to make sure I wouldn't hurt like the janitor in there and to make sure that I wouldn't get caught, too.
Partial birth abortion procedure was invented by Martin Haskell in Cincinnati, and I firebombed his facility in 1986, and 15 minutes before that, I firebombed Planned Parenthood in Cincinnati.
