Some governors have deemed the Liquor Stores and abortion clinics as essential but have left out churches and other houses of worship. Its not right. So im correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential. There are of course questions over the president s authority to issue such a decree, but regardless, his insistence on a rushed reopening flies in the face of what Health Officials advise.
