    Default The Bible lets me do it, and Trump's VP pick signed the law



    JESUS LOVES YOU THIS MUCH





    An Indiana woman accused of punishing her child with a coat hanger claims the state's religious objections law gives her the right to discipline her children according to her evangelical Christian beliefs.

    Kihn Park Thaing, who is from Myanmar, was arrested in Indianapolis after a teacher discovered her 7-year-old son's injuries. The boy had 36 bruises and red welts.

    "I was worried for my son's salvation with God after he dies," Thaing said, according to court documents. "I decided to punish my son and to help him learn how to behave as God would want him to."

    Thaing's lawyer argues that the state shouldn't interfere with her right to raise her offspring in a way she believes is appropriate. He cited Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, saying it gives her the right to discipline her children according to her beliefs.

    Court documents cite Scripture and state a parent who "spares the rod, spoils the child."

    Indiana's religious objections law was signed last year by Republican Gov. Mike Pence, now Donald Trump's running mate.

    How awful. Pence should hide in shame when he hears about this.
