TL;DR Summary

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" into law at a Christian conservative event, sparking controversy as opponents argue it could lead to discrimination, particularly against LGBTQ individuals. The law, which took effect immediately, aims to protect religious freedom but has drawn criticism for potentially enabling discrimination in various scenarios. Supporters believe it provides a fair balance for religious freedom, while opponents, including LGBTQ rights advocates and some major business groups, argue that religious freedom is already protected as a fundamental right and that the law could lead to selective obedience of laws.
