CVS Sued: Nurse Practitioner Fired Refusing to Prescribe Birth Control

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.

Texas resident J. Robyn Strader said in the suit that her Baptist faith prevents her from prescribing contraceptive and abortion-inducing drugs. She said that for 6½ years, CVS granted her a religious accommodation to forgo having to prescribe the drugs at the CVS MinuteClinic where she worked. When customers needed the prescriptions, she would refer them to a colleague or another CVS MinuteClinic. But in August 2021, CVS said it was revoking all religious accommodations.

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?

I'm all for women's rights and that includes the right to choose, but it sounds like this lady was making reasonable accommodation so I don't agree with CVS on this one

Quoting just so you can't go back and edit out such a stupid comparison

Weren’t Jews first driven out of certain occupations?
Please enlighten us on how this was a stupid comparison.

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

I'm pretty sure she was a Clerk before a judge decided to write a Law that didn't really exist.

I don't want to edit it dumbass, the point is that just because corrupt politicians put an immoral law on a piece of paper doesn't make it right, and NAZI sycophants don't have to follow evil like a lap dog, but you sheep don't have principles or stones, so you are unable to see the parallels

Exactly the same.
Except the clerk was an agent of the government. And the fact that same sex couples had nowhere else to go. And the fact that she was issuing licenses to some people and not others whereas the NP wasn't providing an objectionable service for anybody. And the fact that employers are barred under the Civil Rights Act from discriminating against employees.

I think this is just the company she works for saying we sell birth control pills, that’s part of the job. If you don’t do that part of your job, you no longer work here. Nazis!

Interesting timing to "all of a sudden" revoke all religious accomodations.
These corporations are huge sacks of shite.

Never heard of a Baptist Church that prevents this.

CVS isn’t winning this one.

So if policies are updated in your place of work do you think that you don't need to follow them since you already work there?
Posted on 1/13/23 at 11:11 am to Padme
In no way is it discrimination. You got hired to do a job. The company policy states how it needs to be done. You have an objection to it. So you don't do that job.
If you can't perform the duties expected of you at your job, do you think your employer just says oh well?
You don't get to gatekeep healthcare because of your feelings.
