Its no surprise that the same people who want charities be the social safety net are the same people who want charities to have "freedom of conscience" to decide who is and isn't worthy of charity.
"Progressive" - the belief that govt has a moral obligation to build, maintain, and steward public institutions for the common good, rather than burning them down in the name of "freedom" and profit.

You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away
"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

But thank you, Naomi Wolf, for confirming that this is something the Crazies believe.

Just off the coast of Newfoundland, there are two small islands.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
These are not Canadian islands, but are a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France.
So how did that happen?
