https://www.yahoo.com/news/cvs-sued-nurse-fired-she-193047721.htmlThe complaint alleges that CVS terminated Strader's employment illegally, arguing that the company's decision dismissed protections outlined in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The provision, passed as part of a broader package of landmark legislation in 1964, prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin. One section of Title VII specifically notes that "[t]he term 'religion' includes all aspects of religious observance and practice, as well as belief, unless an employer demonstrates that he is unable to reasonably accommodate to an employee's or prospective employee's religious observance or practice without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer's business."
Strader claims in the new lawsuit that her Christian faith prevented her from prescribing contraceptive or abortion-inducing drugs to patients at the CVS where she worked. For the majority of Strader's tenure there, she says CVS granted her a religious accommodation that allowed her to personally reject patients' requests for those prescriptions and instead refer them to a colleague or a different MinuteClinic. But, in August 2021, CVS Health revoked a previous policy regarding religious accommodations that ensured all employees' needs would be met, the suit says.

If your religious beliefs (or any other personal hangups) prevent you from performing your job to the profession's ethical and competency standards, you need to be thrown out of the fucking profession. Good fucking bye.

It's like right-wing lawyers client-shopping for that perfect florist or wedding planner to find a case that can go to the Supreme Court.

(8,714 posts)groups like First Liberty Institute, a right wing Christian activist group, go out and search for plaintiffs to file their lawsuits in Forth Worth or Amarillo where they will for sure get batshit crazy right wing judges.
This one is filed in Forth Worth, which is where Judges Reed OConnor and Mark Pittman are the only district judges - two partisan hack judges.
