CVS Sued: Nurse Practitioner Fired Refusing to Prescribe Birth Control

The rights of the public to obtain healthcare and legal drugs from a clinic

Where is this right in the Constitution/Bill of Rights? Where is the right to birth control enshrined in the law?

And why would this imaginary right be greater than the actual religious rights of the nurse practitioner?

Why can’t this allegedly aggrieved patient go elsewhere to obtain birth control?

it was legal to discriminate against jews in Nazi germany too

If prescribing birth control goes against your faith, don't work in a job that expects you to prescribe birth control. It's really that simple. The rights of the public to obtain healthcare and legal drugs from a clinic do not get thrown out the window because of your religious beliefs. If you are uncomfortable doing something, don't apply for a job where that something is part of the job description.

Yeah this reminds me of that Kentucky Clerk of Court that refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

But in August 2021, CVS said it was revoking all religious accommodations.

Interesting timing to "all of a sudden" revoke all religious accomodations.

These corporations are huge sacks of shite.

“But in August 2021, CVS said it was revoking all religious accommodations.”

CVS isn’t winning this one.

I could be on both sides of this.

On one hand- private company can do what it wants, have whatever policy it wants. If the private company doesn't want to employ certain religions, so be it.

In 2023 A.D. why would anyone need a prescription to buy birth control pills ?

I would rather a woman to have the Pill than to choose to have an abortion.

So this fine Christian woman must risk eternal damnation and provide tools to allow sluts to pop that thang till it rots?

How intolerant, uninclusive and bigotted you are.

The real crime here is that NPs are allowed to practice medicine without a medical degree

So, people should be prohibited from a career because they don’t want to perform .1% of the full scope of it based on a legitimate religious belief?

Should a Hindu lawyer have to defend a beef processing company in a criminal action regardless of the fact that killing cows violates his faith? Should a catholic OBGYN be required to perform an abortion if he lives in a pro-choice state? What about a 80 year old baptist doctor who started practicing when birth control or abortion was illegal (in line with his religious beliefs) and then the law changes?

I say all this as someone who is pro-choice. Such a ridiculous, absolutist position to take. This isn’t a situation where anything is life threatening. No one is throwing someone’s right to healthcare away. The quote literally says she refers them to someone who will provide what they need which is sometimes in the same building. She’s not demanding that CVS stop dealing the meds—it’s a purely personal decision.
