Finnish court delivers anti-Christian ruling in lawmaker's 'hate speech' case
2026-03-27
[WND] Finland's Supreme Court has delivered a shocking anti-Christian ruling in a lawmaker's fight for free speech.

She was fined for expressing her biblical belief.

The court said Paivi Rasanen, a medical doctor and member of parliament there since 1995, was guilty of incitement. She was ordered to pay a fine of about $2,000.

Lower courts repeatedly had acquitted Rasanen of all charges in the anti-Christian agenda adopted by prosecutors that had them appealing over and over again.

Finally, the nation's highest court claimed its own authority over medical decisions and opinions, stating, "The Supreme Court considers that [...] Rasanen must have understood that, for example, claiming that homosexuality is a disorder of psychosexual development is, in light of the prevailing medical understanding, an incorrect assertion."
