I doubt whether this lady even thought of the so called "Fair Housing Act" when she pinned her note on the church notice board. Therefore "submission" to a long list of acts is not actually relevant. Even Peter would not have thought in terms of pages and pages of regulations when he wrote his Epistle.
I also doubt whether everybody in all communities in Canada or elsewhere are acquainted with all the local housing regulations.
Finally I doubt whether this lady was "discriminating" against "other faiths" it probably never entered her mind. - There is only ONE faith that of faith in the Son of God.

After all she is not doing the actual murder, she is being obedient to the powers ordained by God, and letting them do the murder, she is clean from all sin as long as she just submits to them as is commanded in the Bible and expressed in the doctrines of grace as all of this was ordained and we must not fight that which was ordained.
Thou shalt not kill.
Abortion is murder. She could not submit to this injustice. The only reason for her being involved in this incident is her pregnancy. Getting pregnant for a second time is the Chinese law she did not submit too.
At 8 months there was TWO persons involved (mother and baby) - submission to the "law" was beyond the reach of both.
Further nothing in the article says she was Christian, therefore does not know God's law.

He did submit to the Republican part of government.
Also the Shirt related to a US Navy ship - Not to any politician!
